CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get my studies finished. And trying to combine that with as much positive elements as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am certainly not the most extroverted person on earth, however that doesn't mean that I am arrogant or reserved, as some may think. I'm calm but curious, I enjoy the process of getting to know people, of becoming acquainted with their principles and concepts and different ways of life, and I also enjoy sharing my own views and experiences.

With regard to my pastime I prefer outdoor activities, even though I at times also enjoy going to the movies, theater, cafés etc. I dance tango, some Salsa and I would love to learn Samba. As I would also love to learn how to surf, how to do rock-climbing, how to sail; the list is long... However, until now experience has shown that every new place has some surprises in store and I am quite optimistic about the adventures laying ahead. And I am particularly excited on the fact that I never stop to discover new places where I would like to live one day.

PHILOSOPHY

Há dois males na condicão humana: o passado e o futuro. O passado nos prende, o futuro nos paralisa. O sábio é aquele que consegue sofrer menos pelo passado, esperar menos pelo futuro e estar mais presente no aqui. (Luc Ferry)

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
(Colin Powell)

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
(Oprah Winfrey)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm renting a room in a families' apartment in Rio de Janeiro where I am not allowed to bring anybody. But I hope to be able to provide a couch myself soon; until then, I would love to participate by bringing some of my own culture to other places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed three years ago in Scandinavia when I did Interrail with my cousin, and it was a great experience; I then lost somewhat connection with the network and it would be great to revitalize it!

Interests

I don't like this question a lot; I am interested in a variety of things and it also happens that I loose interest. Sometimes I enjoy discussions on politics, sometimes the subject may be as simple as which is the best chocolate brand. I am - unsurprisingly - interested in traveling, cultures, languages, which might be the most important information at this point :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Blue Valentine is one of the best films I have seen recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazon region, Iguazu-Falls, Indian desert, Myanmar pagodas, and an uncountable amount of other beautiful and very different places. Difficult to rank them.
