ABOUT ME

I am a very sportive person. I tend to feel really uncomfortable if I am just laying down or feeling lazy. I mean, I can do it, but it is very important to me to practice some sports. I really enjoy running and I take part in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu team.
I am Brazilian, but half Portuguese, and I live with my Portuguese family, so you can recognize me as a Brazilian with some Portuguese influences :P
All in all, I am just a very humorous and proactive person. Something that pretty much describes my behavior is my urge to understand things. I can't just get to know something if I don't have the "Why", "Why for?". It goes from knowing my graduation area to understanding people's mind and behavior.

PHILOSOPHY

"A smooth sea have never made a skilled sailor"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never hosted a couchsurfer myself but I got to know that project in my close friends house. I found it good as an experience for either the host and the couchsurfer himself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my graduation studies I took part in a motivational project, known as BAJA SAE, in which I had the chance to step out of Mechanical Engineering theory, focused on designing and building a vehicle prototype aiming to compete with other universities projects on a national scale.
Actually projecting a vehicle and being able to see that project become reality is really satisfying.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe everything is learning and teaching. If you ask me what my skills are, the things I can actually teach you, I'd say something related to Mechanical Engineering, Jiu Jitsu and reading body language... But I believe I have some values and virtues that can be shared.
