About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ride the small big world with a bike.

ABOUT ME

If adventure did not exist before me, I'd create it. I love to travel and meet people from all over the world with the same hope that peace and freedom will be some day the motto in a unic flag, able to share what fences and flags actually split in parts at the present. Love is the only way Humanity need and deserve. Spread it! Well, I try...

PHILOSOPHY

Love. Try to understand even when things are not as I'd imagine. Simplicity. Green sensation of green. The still light attracts more than a flash. Moral can't be imposed under a system. Look at the Creation to learn more about every common-sense subject. Love is the only way mankind will be right on: our goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I just found you, let's see how it works, and I am pretty sure to make a donation and get verified as soon as I meet interesting people who can help in my project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before internet times, I was couchsurfer in many different countries; if I try a retrospective right now, it can be so long, to write a book. In short terms: I got a Master in couchsurfing experiences honoris causa.

Interests

Travel all over the world, even Antarctica and N. Pole before flying to the orbit or intergalaxial commuting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: rock, blues, samba, bossa-nova, MPB.
Movies: Forrest Gump is for me the best film ever, American Beauty, and the traditional old movies as Casablanca, almost all of Ingmar Bergman, Bertollucci, Italian comedy, but actually I do not want to see more violence. It is hard to read a book without violence as well, but almost all Borges, Nietzsche, Jorge Amado; citating an Italian but just the last one to read violent content, Gomorra best-seller is a perfect message to describe what is Italy today and how the mafia is destroying not only the country where their children live, but overseas as well...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one? People who was patient to hear the endless adventures I did, asked why I don't write a book. Maybe I'll do it, but, would I need to stop somewhere to write it? Examples: Barcelona to Nordkapp hitchiking all the way, or walking across the pristine shore of Rangiroa about 80 miles up to "la plage des sables roses", on a 3-day surf-walk, running out of drinking water just on the first day (coconuts helped on the following days, 54 in total for the 2 of us!), or just walking across the middle of the Sahara looking for the "right dune", until getting almost lost to the next road it was supposed to be closer but it took more than 12 hours walking... or finding a group of people that invited me to stay with them (looking for what?) in the middle of the forest at Sequoia Ntl. Park while I kept climbing a peak in search for bears instead...

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting adventurers like me, I love hiking, cycling, usually I don't live in big cities, I love nature and I'd like to share with people who is more in contact with animals or pretty far from big cities. I want definitely to speak English as an expert, so welcome all of you who can help me, I can teach you Brazilian, Italian and Argentinian instead.
