CURRENT MISSION

Survive my first semester at University

ABOUT ME

I'm usually the loner type, but when I meet people I like I'm fun to hang out with, or at least so I'm told.
I have a sort of dark, sarcastic sense of humor, but I always enjoy a good laugh.

I'm up for almost anything, as long as it isn't completely, ridiculously insane, and sometimes even then.

I like winter more than summer, but sun more than rain. I never take an umbrella, so when it rains I always get soaked. I prefer coke over pepsi, and I don't consider white chocolate even remotely edible but I love dark chocolate. I like art, and music, and books, and most things that don't involve maths. I don't particularly care about how things may look or sound. I like things to be clear so I just say what I think and be done with it. I get impatient with people who walk on eggshells; life is too short for missunderstandings.

I like red and purple. I like to learn. I like dogs, but not cats much. I like thunderstorms, how intense they are. I like intense things, and intense people. I get bored easily, so I like entertainment.

Well, in short I like a lot of things, and I might like you! Just come visit me if you want to know more

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason; if you tell me I can't do something, I'll be sure to put it in my to-do list unless you give me a good reason. And by good reason I don't mean "because I said so."

I don't care where we're going as long as we go.

Books make everything better.

If you're nice to me I'll be nice to you. Otherwise...run.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed before, and I expect to surf again! However, since at the moment my feet are rooted, I'm hosting. If I can't go see the world, let the world come see me right?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, my CouchSurfing experience has been wonderful. I met new people and learned new things and loved it all. I just want it to keep going!

Interesses

I absolutely love, as in could never live without, books. They are my biggest addiction and my greatest passion. I firmly believe there is nothing you won't find in a book. I also love cinema in general, and gaming.

My tastes are varied but I'm very engaged with fantasy in general. My taste in music is completely senseless, I like everything from classical to heavy metal, but I hate these new ridiculous things that pass for music these days, like dubstep and Justin Bieber or whatever you write his name. I love to write almost as much as I love to read, and I like walking to clear my head. I'm also a big fan of camping.

By the way, for a better shot at getting me to host you, you might want to include the words Mascara de Cristal somewhere in your couch request, so I'll know you at least bothered to try and learn more about me. Goodluck!

Most classics of literature I've also read and loved, but I can't remember them all. Eitherway, if it's a book, I've probably either read it, want to read it or heard of it. If neither of these, I would still love you to tell me all about it.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Hmmm, I think the most amazing thing I've ever seen was a spectacular sunrise while I was taking a train ride. The sunrise was framed by this really old train station and the colors were absolutely breathtaking. To this day I regret not having my camera at the time.

The most amazing thing I've ever done was going to Disneyland :P I'm a kid at heart and it was a dream come true. Though Disneyland was my best experience, sleeping on the street in Venice was definitely the funniest one!

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Well, if I've not made it obvious yet, I can teach you about books. I can teach you portuguese and english, and maybe a bit of spanish; some cooking, though my mother is a lot better at it than I am.

I would love to learn new languages and things about other countries, from customs to food, to music, to everything. I would love to learn anything you would love to teach me. Well, except if you're a maths teacher, then I wouldn't love it at all :P
