About Me

Its hard to define yourself this way. I'm a brazilian guy who likes a lot to travel and meet new people from all the world. I really like to meet new cultures and redefine the way I see life based in new experiences and new knowledges.

I hate to live in a confort zone and do the same stuff, talk to the same people, go to a restaurant and eat the same plate every single time. I work on me trying to embrace the new.

T.F.E. to all my brothers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet nice people and have nice experiencies people outside here don't have a clue. To adventure, to learn and to enjoy. Life is short and travelling all over the world is one of the best things you can do with your life.

Interests

Wanderlust (I like a lot to travel), Languages (I'm trying to learn french, my 5th one, right now), History, Economics (I define myself as an libertarian and an austriac school enthusiastic), Geopolitics, but I still enjoy to talk about nice drinks, food, wine, television and whatever sound fun at the moment.

Ohhh...and I have this huge geek interest in modern boardgames.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't think I have a favorite music. What I listen depends on my company, how good (or bad) was my day and even how drunk I am (lol). No bad time. I really enjoy jazz and blues, but I can listen virtually everything, even that stuff we call brazilian country music.

Nice movies I can watch again and again : Le Fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain, The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption.

I love books, but I have a few time to read new ones. Last two I read was Politically incorrect History of Brazil and Political Incorrect History of Latin America. Next one probably will be one of Mario Vargas Llosa or Ayn Rand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swin with the dolphins.

Have a nice meal at the so called best restaurant of Latin America and next day have a nice meal at a modest peruvian restaurant and enjoy both.

Jump from a cliff so high that I lose my breath, stop screaming and still have time to take a breath and then finally fall in the water.

Just had my first tattoo after 10 years considering doing it. lol.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook some stuff (Most people enjoy my Benedict Eggs),
I can share tips about luxury and economic places I meet,
I can tell funny jokes (ok...not so funny),
