ABOUT ME

Temperamental, but funny. I'd also say I'm pretty stubborn. Nonetheless, I'm said to be a great friend to my friends. Will help when I can, and try when I can't. I'm definitely lazy, but I also enjoy doing stuff. I like to drink socially and, as a consequence, get socially drunk (never have been, and don't ever intend to be a burden on anyone's evening by passing out.). I preffer bars/cafés over night clubs, I like to speak as I drink, rather than dance my ass off. I'm also reported to be a pretty decent wingman to close fellas, being an easy ice breaker, when I'm not targetting myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Trust people.

If you love it, give your best.

Understand your surroundings.

Trust your Gut.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On my first couchsurfing experience, I got to my host's home in the evening. One of the first things he did was giving me a copy of his house keys. I was amazed. Not only did this person trust me enough to host me (this I could understand), but he could trust me enough to lend me his keys. This was when I realized how there are great people in this world.

Interests

I like sports: Basketball, Football, American Football, Rugby. And even a bit of Baseball. I still plan on training Rugby.

I enjoy playing League of Legends (although I haven't been really active lately).

Coffee is a necessity (espresso, please) and Beer is a duty.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly enjoy non-hollywoodian movies. Or older Hollywoodian movies. I enjoy Dramas and Comedies. I love the french cinema, but recently I've been watching a lot of argentinian movies (I'm a great fan of Ricardo Darín). A french favourite would be "Il y a longtemps que je t'aime" and a argentinian one would be "El Secreto de Sus Ojos"

I really enjoy lot's of music (Including some Erudite [Classical, Baroque, Romantic], some 70's/80's Soul/Funk, Samba, a bit of Reggae, some Jazz, and other stuff. My main prefference is, however, Rock'n'Roll. From Beatles to Arctic Monkeys, passing through Led Zeppelin and Oasis, among others.

Currently, I'm listening to A LOT of Coheed and Cambria.

I enjoy reading, but I'm lazy. I'm trying to improve my reading by making a pact with myself. I have one year to read 24 books, which will average 2 books a month. Perhaps this way I can keep reading. Some Authors I enjoy are Albert Camus, Aristophanes, Sophocles, Luís Fernando Veríssimo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I declared to a girl in front of my classroom with a poem, when I was 16. I had never spoken much to her before, so this blew on my face, like it should. But still, it felt right when I was there, in front of everyone. This taught me to be true to my self.

- I once went from Rio to São Paulo, spent a day in there and was going to a concert on a Park (still in São Paulo) the next day. I had no place (or money, for that matter)to go. I ended sleeping in the subway, travelling back and forth for a couple of hours, before leaving to the park.
