About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and make people around me happy as well. At least I'm trying...

ABOUT ME

My friends? They would probably tell you that I'm funny crazy, because I really am. Sometimes, I try not be a clown about everything, but this is in my blood, or whatever. I mean... I love to laugh and I love to be with my friends and make some new ones. I like to keep people in a good mood. Most of the time, even when I'm quiet, people laugh on my face... so I actually concerned about it. =)
More details... please, contact my friends, but let me indicate them, by the way. =P

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host you. You host me.
Simple like thar.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None until now. Not by this service. But some in my life. For example, Rio de Janeiro and Pipa beach... I stayed at unknown people home. And I hosted some friends and friends of friends, and also a guy from Montenegro who I've met in the bus station. A famous kickboxer, by the way. lol

Interests

As much as the crowd I like watching movies, but some kind especially like super comedy and super drama. Yeah, I'm a bittersweet guy. But I like every kind of movies, they are fascinating in many ways, even when they have an awful screenplay or low budget because this is magic like we see in "Hugo".
So, the same, I like reading, but this is more specific stuff than movies. I'm not into fiction books, just a few like "Digital fortress" by Dan Brown. But the ones which grab my attention are about knowledge fields of my interests such as communication, social media, tech, cyberculture, innovation, and biographies about renown people like Steve Jobs.
I also like being with my friends wherever and whenever we can. Obviously, to travel is always a good idea (I only need money for it...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel to Curitiba, Pipa beach (at Tibau do Sul - Rio Grande do Norte) and Rio de Janeiro, which are my favourite places. My three best trips ever, where I've met too many great people and made nice friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ok,
I can teach Portuguese if it's your interest.
English, maybe.
French, a bit little.
Tech resources may be a possibility.
And I don't know what more. We can figure it out.
