About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Investigate and discover the nature laws and the bennefits of natural medicines. Learn more about the diversity of my cowntry, research about my ancestors; travel, have contact with other people and learn other idioms.

ABOUT ME

I'm simply, comunicative, responsible, openminded and easygoing person.

I love a lot of things like travelling, specially backpacking or even more, hitchiking. I travel working with geology and I travel by myself. Ofcourse the last ones are the best trips. I don't watch TV but I love movies and music. I love riding my bycicle, reading, writing, photography, mountains, sunsets, climbing, motorcycles, trekking and camping. I love trains, but they almost don't exist in Brazil.

Definetly, I love people, but I'm frequently travelling alone, couse I think it's the best way to understand myself, enjoy the places, interact with natives and learn about the local culture and language. Besides that, that is the best way to meet interesting and crazy people like me!!!!

PHILOSOPHY

1. Love the next as to yourself and help in everything you can.

2. Life is only one and death is the only certain thing we have, so we should do whatever we want... Crazy people live great adventuries so, we can't take life so seriously, so Carpe Diem and Save the Day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had hosted many interesting people from many cowntries, but I had to move and I lost the space I had to share. I've been hosted for a couple times, in São Paulo (BRA), Cusco (PER), Mendoza (ARG), Ushuaia (ARG). It has also been a great experience to being hosted in non related CS experiences as in Chapada Diamantina (BRA), San Miguel de Tucuman (ARG), Junin de los Andes (ARG) and Buenos Aires (ARG).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I participate in the north and northeast brazilian CS meeting on october 2009, in Salvador. Since that, I have been participating in some Salvador CS meetings and hosting many couchsurfers from many parts of Brazil and the world for a couple of days and even months.
