PLEASE READ

Hello there! I'm Thiago and if you want to stay at my place you better read this through, send a personal message and hate cops... Generic messages will be summarily ignored.

My big plan was work and travel all around the world doing what I can as a job, meeting new people, absorbing culture and clicking landscape with my eyes. But then corona came and I settled in Berlin.
Still have lots of travel to do, but now keeping a headquarters in this beautiful, dirty and colourful city.

An anarquist to the core. Even tho I'm not your regular punk, I hate your church and I'll burn your state, as Slayer would say ..
Although I'm respectful for an individual spirituality and locally organised communities, I do not support flags. Unless it's a pirate flag 🏴‍☠️ Institution is what fucks the shit up. I'll strive and struggle for freedom and peace until my last breath. RIGHT WINGERS AND WARMONGERS HAVE NO PLACE NEARBY ME!

Big fan of music, specially rock 'n' roll, funk soul and blues, between other organic music. Despite loving Berlin, I hate techno. It's not music. I try to learn how to play guitar since more than 20 years and still didn't got quite there. I'm not giving it up tho. The neighbours better be patient...

Least important, I work as a bartender for the last 10 years, and working in different countries galvanized me as a gastro profi. You won't find many that are up to my skills around. So, as a rule, first we drink.

I indulge myself but keep my hedonism in check, avoid animal products but ain't no hardcore vegan, learn and teach the most as I can. Spread love and what I have seen around in this crazy world that we are living in.

If you have a dog I might spend more time with they than you. Sorry in advance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals, learn their culture, show mine. Find worm places to stay a little time and worm hearts to live forever.

Interests

- I love sciences. Of all kinds. From Anthropology to Quantum Physics (I suck calculating but I love the theories). I have some knowledge in history, specially Latin America, and psychology. Always trying to keep up with my informal studies. I have some interest in aliens and conspiracy theories, but I don't get crazy about it. Not too much...

- I'm a big fan of cinema, specially sci-fi and gangster movies, also some action and drama. But regardless the genre, a good movie is a good movie.

- I like some sports, specially outdoor. I'm not good in any, but aways in the mood to activate! I've practiced martial arts for several years, but the non-harm philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu will be aways in my heart and mind.

- I love hanging out in bars where people are able to mingle and have fun conversations. And play pool. I'm not a fan of clubs and going out for dancing, although I can do it in special occasions.

- I enjoy pairing a nice meal with a good wine and deep conversation. I enjoy the scent of a good whisky for several minutes before sipping it.

- Hate the system, but love System of a Down. Full of Rage Against The Machine...🤘

Teach, Learn, Share

- I work as a mixologist bartender for the last 6 years, and also as cook and waiter, and I plan doing it for a couple of years more. So I'm eager to teach, learn and share everything related to this industry.

- I'm a yoga practitioner and vegetarian. I'm not a instructor but we can practice together and I can give you some tips on eating healthy. I also have some knowledge in massage and reflexology that can help in some health issues, specially trouble sleeping. I had it for some time and it helped me a lot.

- I speak good English, Spanish and, naturally, Portuguese, and I consider myself a good teacher. I'm learning German and could use some help...

- My next Profession will be DIVER!!! And maybe in adventure sports. So anyone who has experiences with those, I'm craving to hear it!

- Music is my frustrated talent I guess. I try to learn the guitar since I was 13, but I always drop it for some ages. Since lockdown I'm taking it more seriously and super eager to learn, including music theory, which I always rejected.... So musicians are more then welcome. Or any artist. Or any cool human being. Or dog...

What I Can Share with Hosts

- First of all, I love to cook and prepare drinks for my hosts, I always like to reiterate this. I can teach you some recipes (even though I'm unable to follow recipes...) and techniques.

- I used to be a sports teacher, so can help you to fit some exercises in your life and give you some tips about eating healthy, even though I don't follow it so religiously.

- I can recommend a ton of good movies that will match your taste if you first tell me something about what you like to whatch.

- I like music very much, mainly old or alternative stuff. Is very improbable that the charts gets me. But in this I guess I'm more open to learn about your taste than show you stuff.

- I'm very interested in people and their minds. I'm a good listener. I enjoy deep and long conversations, and I love to tackle a good ol' taboo.
