About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After 6 years in China and 2 years in the USA, i am back to my Brazil (Living between São Paulo and Salvador). Trying to blend in back to my roots and looking to pay it forward the amazing experiences i had living abroad all those years!

ABOUT ME

Well, i am a very easygoing person (Like 99% of the CS profiles :-) . I can blend in any environment and can handle many different situations! Also, i really like to help people, close to me or not. I talk loud, i am very curious, so don´t be upset with me if i ask a lot of "why"s hehe. When i go out, my favorite things are outdoors activities (during the day), and listen to live music or go to a pub for chatting. And movies and (lots) of coffees in the meanwhile.
A important thing about me that i realized now is that i am REALLY unattached to things. I don´t keep old pictures, gifts, prizes, childhood stuff, cds, dvds etc etc, and i have very few clothes and i go and change them when they get too old. After many years, all my life can fit in a 2x32kg Bags

PHILOSOPHY

Respect the others in order to get respect

"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul"

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I Surfed a lot in China but couldnt host. After many years i will be able to host people in São Paulo, and looking forward for meetings

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so perfect! I had a really nice sensation and i still get in contact with my previous surfers!

Interests

I really like to learn new things, specially when it envolves a different culture from mine. Music/cinema/art lover! (but i can´t play an instrument... shame on me).

At my free time, or i am using my computer & gadgets (a bit nerdy hehe), or i am trying to read a book, listening new songs and running! (specially around places i don´t know)
Ah, and also a food & drink lover!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kind of movies, but specially those who make me think about relationship between people (such as Closer, Big Fish, Lost in translation)

I like international music, but i think on 90% of cases i am listening to Brazilian music (Samba, Bossa nova, MPB, Pop/Rock". I like broadway musical´s and movies soundtrack as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Changing completely my live three times already.
Run a half marathon and ride 120km on bike (Oh for someone who didn´t use to do sports at all, i felt really amazed)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, i can teach you A LOT about Brazil. I really enjoy brazilian music, arts and cinema, and can talk about it for weeks!I would be really glad to teach that! Also, i like to explore the "non tourist sites" on everywhere i go and share that with others. And since i´m a bit nerd and like to follow the tecnology trends, i can help you with computer & gadgets in general.
I´d like to learn anything regarding others people culture and discover different art
