About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figure out who was born first...the chicken or the egg :P
Just kidding. I'm just trying to do what almost every young person is doing...Working or trying to find a better job, trying to move into my own house, travelling, learning new things, trying to be a better person, developing my own personal and professional project.

ABOUT ME

That's a hard task.
I'm usually very cheerfull and have "empathy skills" (if you want to call it that). I like to talk about very different themes of life (from the most basic to the most complexes, ok, maybe not quantic mechanics, I don't think I would understand it). I'm a good listener and appreciate everything I can learn from others, as well as to share my experiences and points of view.
For more....Check the testimonials.

PHILOSOPHY

If life gives you lemons, keep them, because, hey, free lemons.
Lemons could be very good if you know what to do with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are usually very nice, but nothing compares to meeting people/locals at their homes and listen to what they have to say. And, let's not be fake...We young people don't usually have much to spend, so it may be the difference between being broke in the middle of the trip or not being broke :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My voluntary service in Romania...that was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the moose's mating only last six seconds? fascinanting, isn't it?
Ignore that. Now for something more interesting:
"The human's virtue isn't measured by the amount of times he/she falls, but how many times he/she rises again, more wise and without grudge" (Personal quote)
