Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After I got to know this wonderful site, I started to travel to places always wanted, but was difficult because of Hotels high prices.
I visited many countries, and received many surfers and made friendship!
I hope will visit many more places, make acquaintances, and keep enjoying the life, which is short.
My goal is to visit all 50 states of the USA. Already visited 3/4 of them.

I like classic,pop music,am discovering many songs didn't know before. Love to read but almost don't have time to read book, I have many started, didn't finished. I read English, Portuguese and Japanese papers, and many other readble things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Must be when I went to Rome, at end of the trip, I lost my credit card. Couldn't find any where, I was desperate without knowing anyone. I went to my country Embassy for help, I offered any kind work in exchange for 2 night.A few days later a lady called me,told me to go to a Vatican Nuns Shelter where they give 2 meals and bed. It's very pool, and strict at 9PM have to shut the lights, and have 2 berths each with 2 spaces to sleep. It was hard, one woman snored so loud that I couldn't sleep. But now I can say'"I slept at Vatican".

Teach, Learn, Share

My 5 languages I lerned living in the countries:
Brazil, Japan, England, Sapin and USA now.
A litle Italian learned in short course and visited twice.
We learn alaways,also should teach what we know better,try to be friend to environment.
