About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Knowing and Learning as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm, smart and strict guy. I love talking about computers, electronic games and cars. In other words, I consider myself as a geek.
I used to work as Computer Networking Analyst for two years at Brazil's Ministry of Defense. I wish to achieve many IT certifications.
Nowadays, I've been living in Dublin, Ireland. Studying, meeting new people and learning about new cultures are my current activities.
My biggest dream is to live and to work in Japan, since I'm fascinating for Japanese Culture such as Anime, Sports cars, Respect Attitudes and History.

PHILOSOPHY

Nobody is so dumb that it cannot teach anything, as well as nobody is so smart that it cannot learn anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take part in CS project through surfing, social activities and meetings, besides going along with others CSers at a tour around my/their city.
I really enjoy spending time on hanging out with CSers, which are open-minded and willing to try loads of different life's experiences.
CS is, especially abroad, the best way of practice any sort of languages with people who possesses great and strong accents.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfers are very friendly people. So I could participate of many adventures, such as waterfalls, forests, parties and a lot of snacks and bars, besides house parties.
Travelling with 1 Spanish and 2 Irishes to Edinburgh was the best CS Experience. Since our Host in Scotland was lovely and everything was over expected.

Interests

My interests in interacting on CS is to meet new and differen people that increase my culture and knowledge about the several senses of the life. Besides, enjoying and appreciating from all moments.
I want to keep studying and improving my IT technical skills and achieve a Master's Degree admission in Unicamp (one of the top 10 IT Universities in the World).
In a close future (5 years), I hope to come up a eco-project linking IT and Ecology in order to sort out some Modern Problems.
