About Me

CURRENT MISSION A life worth living is a life full moments that are worth remembering. My personal goal follows that line. I want to do things, and be part of things that I'm gonna want to remember for the rest of my life. My instagram: @aestradaateagora

// Uma vida que valha a pena ser vivida é uma vida repleta de lembranças. Meu objetivo pessoal é criar memórias. Fazer coisas e fazer parte de coisas que me farão lembrar delas pelo resto da vida. My instagram: @aestradaateagora

ABOUT ME All in all, I'm a calm, easygoing guy, that just likes to enjoy the moment. I'm a little bit of an introvert, but I love the company of good people at the same time. I'm open minded, interested in different cultures and experiences. I'm a backpacker at heart, always trying to take some months off to go abroad. And I have this strange affection for developing countries, so I almost always end up choosing to go to one of them. I love to trek, the longer and more strenuous, the better. Love the feeling you get when you overcome all the difficulties along the way and you get a great view in the end. I love reading, and I'm currently trying my hand at writing. I'm a HUGE fan of scuba diving, and I do that as much as I can since I got certified a couple of years ago. I`m also an aspie (level 1 in the autism spectrum) . At this point of my life, it doesn't get in the way of anything significant, but I do usually suck at small talk. Finally, I`m gay. So... if that`s a problem to you... well... fuck off. Those are pretty much the main things about myself... As I recently moved from Curitiba to Florianopolis, I spent some time without hosting, while I was organizing my stuff in my new apartment. My current apartment has an extra bedroom and a couch big enough to sleep on.

// Em geral, eu sou um cara sossegado, de cabeça aberta, que gosta de curtir o momento. Eu sou um pouco introvertido, mas, ao mesmo tempo, eu amo a companhia de boas pessoas. Sou mochileiro de coração, e sempre que posso tiro uns meses de férias para ir lá pra fora. Eu costumo ter um carinho ou interesse especial por países em desenvolvimento, e geralmente acabo indo para um deles. Eu adoro fazer trekking, e o mais desafiador e demorado, melhor. A sensação que você tem no final, de ter superado tudo e ser brindado com uma vista espetacular, essa sensação é impagável. Eu adoro ler, e estou tentando minha mão em escrever também, para ver no que dá. Eu sou LOUCO por mergulho, e procuro fazer um sempre que posso nas viagens. Eu também sou um aspie (autismo nivel 1), mas nesse ponto da minha vida não é algo que entre no caminho de nada significativo, e mas eu posso ser uma merda em conversa fiada. E finalmente... eu sou gay. Se isso for um problema pra você, bem, dá o fora. Enfim... é isso. Acho que dá pra ter uma boa ideia sobre mim com essas infos. Como me mudei recentemente de Curitiba para Florianópolis, passei algum tempo sem hospedar ninguém até me organizar. O apartamento tem um quarto extra, além de um sofá grande o suficiente para dormir.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling has been one of my priorities for a while now, so couchsurfing fits into that goal. And hosting is just my way of traveling vicariously.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've already surfed some couches in Europe and hosted some people.

I also regularly attend the couchsurf weekly meetings here in Florianopolis.
