"Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause"

Charlie Chaplin

Life is what happens when you are busy making plans"
John Lennon

"This will be my art: To feel alive" I enjoyed the idea of been a life artist...making life a masterpiece

In Brasil i am a highschool sociology teacher and I also have a radio show of latin music. I really try to fullfill the idea of making life a piece of art. Making ourselfs life artists. And the most thing i enjoy in life is travelling. Another passions are music and the search of knowledge and wisdow. Ive been traveling for the last 2 years ( since september 2016). So if i request you couch, be sure that i dont care about comfort....any place is really cool and comfortable for me. I prefer couchsurfing than hostels not only to save money and travel more....but because i really have this necessity of learning while traveling....i like to absorb the daily routine of the places i travel...see how local people live life , think life , signifies life....

PHILOSOPHY

The question is not to know if there's life after death , but if there's life before death Groucho Marx - comedian

"What is happiness to you?" quote from Vanilla Sky movie

“A man needs a little madness, or else... he never dares cut the rope and be free.”

― Nikos Kazantzakis

There is no great genius without some touch of madness." - Aristotle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Making friends world around , most of all. I really like the ideia of this site , promoting relations that dont pass by profit or interest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive been traveling for around 2 years and half. I visited Brasil 2 times around this time. I miss already life in one city. But travelling is addicting

I made also a trip of 1 one and two months by South America, most of the time couchsurfing and staying in house fo people i met in the cities

Interests

My interest is live , basically. Live truthly , not only survive. Like Oscar Wilde said , most of them people merely survive

Movies , Art , travelling ( of course haha) , philosophy , Science, history, Nature, big cities, antropology , political science , music , dance ,politics, volunteering... i am really interest abou everything , every form of knowledge
