About Me

Really like the modern life and fast comunications. I love knowledge, I like to learn. I love listen people.
I'm a respectful person, with no judgements or condemn about whatever is the reason, but I like to express my point of view sometimes. And I really like to listen the other's point of view.
I'm very curious about everything, and sometimes I ask dummy questions, but this is only me try to learn or understand something. And I can ask for permission to simple things, but this is just me try no to be disrespectful.
I am little shy at the beginning, but when you realize I'll be talking a lot, and sometimes I get lost in my words because I want to try say and explain things and I don't know how to say in english, this botter me but I'll do my best to keep talking, haha, even if I have to use Google Translate or google a picture to show you what I want to say.
I like to drink, I'm not very open with some kinds of food, but I'll try at least one time. I have a simple life, with few commitments, and because of that, I'm open mind for almost everything.

I prefer host 2 or more people, first because I'm working all the time and I feel so bad when my guests are alone most of the time. Not always I can spend time with them.
And second because safety.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met good friends when I was surfing with a friend in Rio's 2015 Carnival (my first experience in CS). Friends, I keep in touch since they came back to their homes. One of this friends told me: "You always need to have a reason to go back", and that's why I'm on CS. I really want to meet new people so I have a reason to go back and that's the same when I met new people here in Rio, I'll have a reason to visit them where they live, so I can see them again and know about the culture and what make who they are.

The world is so huge, (besides everything is a plan ticket away), with differents cultures, places and people, so, maybe, one life isn't enough to experience all the world and what people has to offer and give to you.
Yeah, I realize that Couchsurfing turn this a little bit easier.

And I wanna hit ten hundred billions references, hahaha.

Interests

New things, new places, new cultures, new experiences, new people, knowledge, photography (I'm still learning), technology, walk, drink, sit, think and relax, meditate.

I'm start to cook, so I'm very interested in learn new recipes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favorite music, I really love Pink Floyd, but I also like a lot of another artists and some of them has just that one music that's become my favorite.
Rock, Blues, Jazz... And if has an harmonica and/or violin and/or sax playing, I'll love it only because of the sound. :)

Movies, I think my favorite one is Watchmen, but only because I really loved the adaptation and modernization made by Zack Snyder. And I love the graphic novel. I really like a good Sci-Fi, Thriller, Suspense and any kind with a good plot twist. (I have two tattos about Watchmen, actually).

Book, I read more techinical books about IT than anything else, hahaha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. My first international flight was to Moscow, was working, but was amazing and so scary (I wasn't travelling alone, but still...), my english was so bad (these days is not sooooooo good, but it's better), well I loved the vodka.

2. Meet awesome people from Chile in Rio's Carnaval (February 2015). One week after them return to Chile, I was buying a ticket to Chile to see them again, visit Chile, celebrate my birthday with them together and start plans to travel the world. Was awesome! :')

3. My first vacation ever was in August/September 2015. I travelled Europe by plane, ferry, train and bus. My plan was simple: visit every person I met in Rio's Carnaval 2015, and I did it. In the end was a few thousands kilometers travelled and a lot of people I was glad to see again... was in 30 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a good teacher, not that good in explain things in a simple way. :(

But I'm working on it, you can ask, I can answer and if gets too complicated I can start over. :)

Hahaha, I did it.

Something about Rio, Brazil, and the places I've visited here in my country. My life and travel experiences, my language, my culture, my thoughts about the life, the universe and everything else, a beer (or two, or more), caipirinhas, some music, games.
