CURRENT MISSION

I want to understand better the dynamic of cities and of the constructed spaces, their impact in the environment and in the lifes of those who live in them with their distinct cultures.

ABOUT ME

My name is André Domingos, I study Architecture and Urban Planning at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, I'm finishing my fourth year of college. The characteristics that define me are: determined, dedicated, friendly, creative, anxious, animated. Regarding friends I'm an easy person to deal, I like meeting my friends at my house to cook for them, making new recipes and new drinks, having long chats and good discussions.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life while I can so I can remember when I can't!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some friends recommended this social network since they enjoyed a lot their experiences with all different kinds of people and adventures. Having the experience of staying in a couch sharing different cultures with my host is something I would like very much to do. I believe I may be increasingly collaborating to create linkages between the countries, spreading my own reality and culture, breaking stereotypes and prejudices.

Interessi

I want understand the relationship between culture, architecture and the practice of urban planning. All the time meeting new people and new cultures. Photography, I think it is essential to have a good pictures of the special moments of my life, every time walking together with my Holga 35mm. Maybe fashion is one of my interest too, even though I am not an expert on it.

Musica, film e libri

I've never been a person who like to read book or watch movies I prefer listen a good music. Almost everything, pop, tecnobrega, indie, house, reggae, country, MPB, rock, sertanejo. My hobby is music, I dedicate a lot to it, searching music references, finding brand new songs that no one know yet. I can say I'm an eclectic person who will listen to a song from the 50s to a current. This hobbie created the possibility to play as a DJ in some clubs and parties here in Belo Horizonte.

I had an amazing cultural experience in a trip to Peru. I could understand better the motivations behind people and distinct cultures.
