I'm concerned about improving society or contributing to humanity substantially during my stay on the earth. I'm in an early research career in sports nutrition and food supplements, and I am looking forward to directing my career towards new paths sharing the former philosophy. Currently, I'm a part-time doctorate student in health sciences finishing my thesis in cooperation with the University of São Paulo (USP - Brazil) during the next 2 years (by 2024). I have a growing interest in the fields of bioinformatics, bioengineering, neuroscience, and the benefits of food supplements to neurodegenerative diseases.

I am also interested in alternative lifestyles, like sustainable living and green communities, and even if I'm not vegan, I make an effort to live more sustainably by shopping local (staying away from any food packaging) and staying away from the unjustified slaughter of animal industry. Other initiatives include green commuting, minimizing energy consumption and reliance on environmentally unfriendly sources, and minimalist living. I firmly believe that as individuals we can make a huge impact with some small decisions when we learn how to manage emotions in the pursuit of living our ideals.

I'm a former professional musician (keyboardist) performing live in popular celebrations, with little experience as a sound technician in spectacles and home studio production. At this moment I find myself trying to rediscover music composition and recover the joy of connecting to music, and the fulfillment of self-expression. If you are interested I putted some links below with some of the projects I participated in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is a window to meet new people when they are open to it. I really love connecting and sharing as part of it, even if due to the high demand of my former jobs I couldn't spend as much time as I desired with my guests. I decided to offer my place early on even if could offer little, and this eventually made a difference. I could contribute with my grain of sand and have already hosted around 75 people. In this respect, this is one way to make the world a better place, despite the limitations of contemporary living.

I believe in the power of communication and creativity to engineer solutions. I'm always kind to receive, help and host people: it's just part of my personality. So don't be shy in sharing your concerns, I may help you even if I couldn't host you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Researcher and Product mannager carrer:
· We should talk about this more in detail ;)

Keyboardist career:
· Currently a keyboardist in an innovative Game Metal band (Game Gods: www.gamegods.es, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsaONVrTgR4 , my character: Turo). We make every concert a game by interacting with the public through mini-games, by spliting them (so they must joing the good or the evil side) acting in a theater-like performance in which every musician is a game character with a story, belonging to the good or evil side...
· Managed a Symphonic orchestra project (more than 50 artist on stage) and played as keyboardist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaW5E0inOUk
· Worked for 4 years in 2 professional bands (Emotion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFJMryO_M4k, and Arizona, both from Pulpí (Almeria)
· Former keyboardist of a progressive metal band (Shadows Theory: I can give a CD as a present if you are really interested)

Sound technician and spectacle manager career:
· A terror spectacle based on Ugares (probably the true Dracula that existed) that was settled in an actual castle (Castillo de Alhama de Murcia) with more than 40 actors, 2 performances, and a thematised passage. Logistics and setting was difficult since from the bottom level to the fortess gate, there was an altitude equivalent to 20 floors.
· Managed a Disney children musical from scratch

Sport hobby:
· Runned one 52 and one 36 km trail race
· Cycled 60 km once or twice a day as commute to my work (for 2 years)
· Hiked for 14 the GR-11 route (in the Pirineos)
· I used to workout around 15 hours/week for some months, in a non-competitive fashion
· I like to try every new sport, so if you know one...

Other experiences:
I had a great experience in Netherland when I went there to try to find the most sustainable way of eating. I tryied Veganism as the way, for many reasons previously found. For 3 months I went to each Vegan place I found through Netherland, with the longest distance done by bike of 80km in one day (8 hours 30 min). I found many great people on the way I'll never forget, some of them still best friends. However, I left veganism since I started feeling pretty weak.

Teach, Learn, Share

With each travell one mades, one belongs more to the earth.
With each person one mets, one's essence is shared.
Every time you decide to go outside, your mind open inside.
Every time you share what you have, we get the double or much.
'Cause belonging in not a belonging, but how we build up our home outside our home.
And that's how we take care of our home earth.
