About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live life at it's fullest! - oh and learn as many languages as possible.
ABOUT ME
Well, let me see. People say I'm always laughing, smiling and with a good mood in general. So that must be me=) !I'm still sorting out my life (there are so many interesting things to do! and see! and learn!), and that reflects on me travelling around a bit and being always open to talk and meet anyone and everyone. For example, I tend to give rides to hitchhikers a lot, even though most of my friends says it's too dangerous. Truth be told, that gave me already a couple of funny stories=b I'm always trying to help whoever I see that needs, or asks!I like to know new people, new places, and specially... languages! Most of all, I like to live and enjoy all the experiences life as to offer ;)
PHILOSOPHY
How do I live my life? I go by a motto of Portuguese writer that I've studied some time ago: "Always see everything as if it was your first time!"That and to always look on the bright side of life as well.So many problems and conflits around us, why make it all even more difficult? Why not get along? Why do people like to judge someone even before they actually met that person and tryed to learn something about her? Nowadays there are many who simply don't care and close themselves behind though shells, thinking perhaps that they are protected this way? But the way I see it they are simply missing on a lot of things in life. But then again, what do I know? =b I've been proven wrong many times hehe ;D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed, and I've been to activities. Lately time has been short, but I'm still trying to make the most of it ;)
For some reason CS mail system stopped working properly for me for a time, which resulted in many contact attempts made towards me being met with no answer... for that reason my reply rate went from 100% to 0%.
But now I'm checking weekly to make sure I read any new request!
Interests
Well, in my free time I like doing nothing! (sometimes it feels real good) I usually run, and swimming is a must wherever I am! When I'm in Figueira I also ride my bike.Walks with friends just talking nonsense is great too. Bars, drinking, dancing, socializing! =p Cinema, reading, writing and... chocolates and sweets and cakes! Love to cook, but even more to eat! And from what I've been told it's dificult to find someone who eats more than I do! =O

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh God! So many things ^^''I read mostly the high fantasy genre now. I listen to almost everything but more recently I am becoming less adept at listening heavy metal, operas, and house music. I think I overloaded and now I'm turning to other genres.The type of music that I always listen (guess it's in my blood?) is latino music, (with lots of spanish, and a lot of reggueaton too)Movies I go to see everything that appears on the cinemas. EVERYTHING! lol That means I've seen lot's of bad stuff, but some times I get good stuff.I also like musicals, theater and other types of less linear shows. If anyone knows of something different please let me know! ;)
