About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know some CS people

ABOUT ME

Every person I've ever met thinks I'm strange, let's just say that I´m a immunologist who likes to make hamsters dance "WMCA" or "La macarena", loves to cook (I'm quite good at it), do make some handcrafts (alebrijes) and has more sweets in my working space than laboratory material.

PHILOSOPHY

Many times, the question you should be asking yourself is not "Why?", but "Why not", and in my experience, it's better not to find an answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, first I want to be host, I really like to have guests in my place. I'll think about the events after learning more about it, and if I need some place to stay later, hope someone can help me.
