CURRENT MISSION

enjoy the music, enjoy the places, enjoy the colours, enjoy the people

ABOUT ME

First of all, I love animals, especially the cats, and so I'm vegetarian. I like music too much, and I often travel for listening to musicians in their live concerts. I play guitar very bad, and when I sing, it strangely begins to rain! My preferred sport is jogging, there's a big park near my house. I'm very able to drive, but when I walk, I'm happy anymore.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy isn't theoretical: for example you can say to be a good person, but more than listen to your words, I'll see your actions, and then I'll believe it!
And then: "ubi maior minor NON cessat"...save & respect the minorities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting & surfing: hosting forever, surfing if I can. In my house pets are LOVELY allowed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My job doesn't allow me to guide my guests in their touristic tours, but in the evening when I come back home I like to conversate for knowing better people and their culture, cooking and exchanging recipies, telling stories, drinking wine and listening to the music.

Interests

I'm learning Portuguese language and I have a fun translating original books.
I support the "protected cats areas" of the city and their volunteers' associations.
I help psychic disabled persons in course of treatment at public mental communities.
