About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish college and get on the road again

ABOUT ME

I'm a talkative guy, you'll see that pretty soon. But I really like to listen too. Actually I like to listen to people and be listened by them. I love studying languages and visual expressions in general. I've studied cinema for quiet a long time now, so I guess I like that too. My hometown is right next to the coast and after that I moved into an island called Florianopolis in Brazil, so I absolutely love the beach.
I'm up to experiment anything new: food, songs, places, people, substances, activities...

PHILOSOPHY

All love is free.

Learn to live alone and depend only on yourself, but don't push people away in order to do that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing people around in the city where I am in the moment and hosting as soon as I get my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to a lot of couchsurfing parties in Paris. I've shown the city to some couchsurfers. And I've stayed in a couchsurfer's place in Barcelona (my friend asked a place for both of us, I didn't have a profile back then... it was the first thing I did when I came back home!)

Interests

- Dance clubs and the beach!
- I think when you connect with someone, either by long conversations or short ones or even with a eye contact in the metro, you connect with a piece of yourself. Sometimes this piece comes as a new one. So I'm really interested in knowing the other selves in me through the people that I know. I like to see how each one affects me in their own way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a few words in many languages, how to roll a cigarette or a joint, and how to drink vodca without making an ugly face. I'd love to learn practical stuff from every day life like these few I have to offer. =)
