About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, love, laugh, loaf

ABOUT ME

(Traduzido depois) I travel for fun and to learn about the world- people, nature and culture. I always like to find something new, but I particularly love music, nature, talking silly nonsense, talking serious nonsense, listening to other people talk nonsense, dancing, occasionally making a fool of myself in public, being lazy. I´m very curious about everybody. I´ve been teaching myself the guitar for 20 years, and picked up some other instruments along the way. I see beauty in strange places. I never watch TV. I help groups of people who are diagnosed as crazy to create ways to earn money- a band, a catering company, a bar. I love that. I can be a bit quiet sometimes, especially when I don´t know people, but it´s unusual for anyone to dislike me, and I can make most people laugh when I´m in the mood. When I travel, I like to stay for a while and get to know some people, away from the main tourist destinations. I like to walk the streets and see what´s happening. I like to get involved with what people do there. I seem to be a bit serious the last couple of years and could do with some good lighthearted fun.

Eu viajo para me divertir e aprender sobre o mundo- pessoas, natureza e culturas. Eu sempre gosto de encontrar alguma coisa nova, mas eu amo especialmente musica, natureza, falar bobagem, conversar, escutar outros falando bobagem, dançar, de vez enquanto ser palhaço em publico, ser preguiçoso. Tenho muito curiosidade de todo mundo. Estou me ensinando tocar violao fais 20 anos, e peguei alguns outras instrumentos durante a viagem. Vejo beleza em lugares estranhos. Nunca assisto televisao. Ajudou grupos de pessoas diagnostos como loucos para construir trabalho e ganhar dinheiro. Uma banda, uma empreza de culinaria, um bar. Amo muito isso. Posso ser um pouco calado as vezes, particularmente antes de conhecer as pessoas, mas e raro as pessoas nao gostar de mim, e posso fazer a maioria das pessoas rir quando eu estou sentindo assim. Enquanto viajando, gosto de ficar um pouco e conhecer umas pessoas, fora das lugares touristicas. Gosto de andar nas ruas e ver o que esta acontecendo. Gosto de participar em o que as pessoas fazem la. Pareço ser um pouco serio nos ultimos dois anos, e pudia aproveitar de uns diversões bons.

PHILOSOPHY

Experience the present without preconception.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´m new here, but I´ve often travelled by meeting local people and staying with them, and have sometimes opened my home to travellers I have met. I´ve had great times like this, and it seems like there´s some really cool people on couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I´m a great collector of music of all styles, from old tribal traditions to new experiments.

I read a lot, and currently love William Gibson, Alan Moore, Ken Kesey, Thomas Harris, John Steinbeck, Voltaire...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a gigantic meteor which left a big trail of sparks and gave off enough light to cast heavy shadows. Apparently these usually explode, flattening entire forests.
