CURRENT MISSION

To learn without stopping, to travel, to connect with other people. I try to live the day by day, because I've realised that the secret of happiness hides in those little moments

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a person in love with life. Full of energy and too stubborn to allow anybody to take the smile off my face. I love learning about practically everything: new languages, new cultures, new people, new places. I believe in sharing and not owning, I've discovered it is much more rewarding to spread yourself around the world rather than trying to capture all the world for yourself. Music, art, sport and writing are constants in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE. Life is short but wide, life is too good to waste it. Live and learn yourself, study yourself, face your fears and face your face in the mirror till you learn to love you the way you are. Love, honesty and respect are the three pilars of my philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am volunteering at a hostel in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, while studying.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled and stayed in some farms in France in exchange of 3-4 working hours per day but not through the Coachsurfing page. I fully enjoyed those experiences, which started when I was 17 years old, because I consider they made me grow up and built somehow the kind of person I am right now.

Interests

We would end first listing the things I am not interested in, almost everything interests me, I am like a new born child, almost everthing surprises me and I believe that we can find beauty everywhere, we just have to open our eyes, maybe slow down a little bit is all we need to appreciate beauty.
