CURRENT MISSION

Find balance between work, family,friends,love, fun and nature.

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm, easy going person who loves life and the world for all it has to offer us. I'm very curious about everyone and everything and I hope this is the place I'll find all of this. Although I'm calm, I love to party and go on crazy adventures, do things that aren't planned like going to the beach in the middle of the night. To get to know me better add me on MSN or facebook: fertomato18@hotmail.com.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't like to have a permanent philosophy, I change mine everyday and with each book, newspaper article, magazine article, documentary, experience or person I have a different view of the world. Right now I'm trying to live one day at a time and not thinking so much on the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here in CS, but hope I will be able to meet lots of people and different cultures. I'm planning on leaving Brazil next year and traveling a bit. Maybe Africa, maybe Europe, maybe USA.

Interests

Wow this is hard, as most of us know here the world is full of interesting things. I'm interested in music, movies, people, nature ( a lot), books, magazines, health and fitness, vegetarian lifestyle, the African continent, languages, computers, my country (I am extremely proud of Brazil and the progress it has reached, I'm proud of the warm people that live here and every single detail that makes this country the way it is, although all of its problems). I'm interested in knowing how things work, from the creation of fish to war resolutions. In academic terms I really like sociology, economics, politics, international organizations and a bit of business.
