PHILOSOPHY

"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This Life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable time more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everthing unutterable small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence--even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!' Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.' If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, 'Do you desire this once more and inumberable times more?' would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?"

Nietzsche, The Gay Science, s.341

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've started to get more involved on CS quite recently. But I can already say that I've had really good experiences on it

I've lived in some different places since I got here, and I have had the opportunity to host a few people in each of these places, two of which became really good friends of mine.

In London, I've made a lot of friendships through CS's events, and tried to help visitors around here as much as I could, though I couldn't really host people at my place for most of the time I was there.

I haven't got the chance to use it to travel around though, and that's what I expect to do for the next months.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cinema is one of my biggest passions.

I really love specially brasilian literature. But I also like very much a lot of author from others countries.

Last books I've read: One, no one and one hundred thousand (Pirandello), Captains of the sand (Amado),

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite in to Brazilian culture in general.
I can cook some Brazilian food (at least our staple), dance a couple of Brazilian rhythms, show you a bit of Brazilian music, literature, art, even some capoeira

In the other hand, I hope to learn a bit of other people culture. I'm really fond of music and food :D
