About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find balance between expectation and reality. What is really important and what is just utopia?

ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing and open minded. Don't be afraid of being honest with me. However respect is everything.

I'm from Brazil and now living in Norrköping, Sweden. I studied Transportation Engineering for 1 and half years at Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary and also did my bachelor degree on Production Engineering in Brazil. Currently I'm seeking my double degree in Intelligent Transport Systems in Norrköping and Prague, Czech Republic :)

PHILOSOPHY

Why don't be nice?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The nicest people travel and love to share, teach and learn... I'm just another one willing to have nice moment with the nicest people in the world and carry on with personal projects :)

What I have learnt in my life is that we can be anywhere, even in our (supposedly) dream's place, and at the end the most important thing will be the people we are together or surrounded by. The interaction between people is much more satisfying when it is meaningful, kind and honest. Either when we play the role of making someone's time a great experience or being the one that is seeking moments of happiness. Travelling to pretty places or exploring the unusual will be only really beautiful and a true adventure when we are ourselves understanding each other feelings.

Interests

I'm interested in many things, so many that I cannot do everything I want hahaha. So far I like to study a lot, I spent my days trying to learn and do a good job when doing my tasks, I'm passionate about the area I'm doing my master degree and hopefully working in the future. I love being with my friends and I do like the moments I spent with many people that appeared in my life that, naturally, go and come as time goes by. I usually change a lot every year, but I always need to do move around (specially cycling and roller skating), talk to people and think, yes I love to think and try to understand why and how things happen. I also have a (electronic) notepad where I like to write down my ideas and make myself organised.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm eclectic about music from classical to electronic music. I like going cinema and watch series at home, however I'm not used to go cinema and I usually I spend more time trying to find something interesting to watch than really watching. I like books and texts about transportation, technology and smart cities, self-help and history books, somehow I think that I need to learn something from the content. I cannot really just read some story and feel amused by that, I prefer playing RPG games or movies/series for that type of entertaining.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's difficult, I have done so many amazing things. I always try to appreciate every trips and make it amazing. I love the new and challenges.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm sure we can have nice talks about everything! If I don't know about some thing, I have to tell you I'm good listener :)

Besides, I have a tradition of cooking a Brazilian dish to my hosts and, in the future when I have my place, I will do it for my surfers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My life, my thoughts, my experiences and whenever happen at certain moment. Everything is random and everything is possible.
