About Me

Living in Campos, with family. It is hard to host, due to work and limitations at home (and who comes to Campos?), but if you are coming, write me and I will try, or at least show you around.

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to know, to experience

ABOUT ME

I love to watch movies (when possible in movie theaters), and listening to music, and then doing lists of the best movies and musics. Also I'm very keen on sports, even if I just started to practice more or less seriously one year ago. I'm always trying to study about all of that and finding an unique view. also trying to learn how to photograph properly...

Even if i seem to be a little shy at first, when i meet someone (after 1 minute or 1 month), i open up myself a lot. I really love traveling and meeting new people and new places.

While I lived in France I've met a lot of Europe, now exploring new parts. Next goal, Oceania! Who knows in the future a life awaits in Thailand or Japan?

I go with the flow... going to places the time and life takes me, even if it means to stand or go back (but never really back) and always reminding myself (and others if possible) that different people have different ways of thinking, so we should respect, understand and accept them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always talking about CS to everyone i know, and since i'm always sharing an apartment or studio with someone, working hard on convincing them to accept the hosting. It takes a while, but always worked. I'm always trying to travel and meet new CS friends, and happily welcoming members into my home, what is not always easy because I usually share places.

Because of Couchsurfing i was able to meet Cyprus and fall in love with this beautiful country. I had wonderful experiences, meet wonderful people and a completely different country in some aspects to the ones i met before (south america, west europe).

Interests

Movies, sports (i'm totally fanatic about Olympics), Cinema, books, photography, painting (ok, art in general, right?), traveling, politics, meeting new people and learning how people can do graffitti on those huge tall buildings while no one sees that (the biggest mystery of mankind to me)

Sang really loud while riding a tunnel in Beirut with a friend (and a CS host!)
I got to know the life and death of Romas Kalanta, while in Kaunas.
