About Me

Describe myself is a bit difficult. But I can say that I'm more a nerdy kind of guy, laid back, very clean and quiet. That's why I am the most part of the time. That might sound a bit boring, but actually I like to go to a party once in a while. Also, I love to talk of everything, since places of the world, science, politics, religion, different lifestyles, music, etc. I don't use to watch TV, movies or series, so I don't have a background to keep a conversation about that lol. People say that I'm funny and I think it's because I like to make laugh others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looks interesting, because there is a chance to share and know with local people and make new friends and contacts!
I opened my Couchsurfing profile in 2014, but actually I've never used it before, because in South America (where I am from) it is not very popular or actually I never needed it. Anyway, I will give it a try in the US and Europe.

Interests

My interests go from atmospheric sciences, astronomy, computers (programming), technology, traveling, read about new music pop/rock/house/hip-hop music, but I'm very bad with instruments or singing. Don't make me sing, I advice you haha.
When I'm not working, I'm reading news the most part of my day or watching videos in YouTube (from the very interesting to the most stupid). I like to go to the gym, I try to go 5 times per week.
I used to practice Ninjutsu (Japanese Ninja Martial Art) in Brazil, but I had to leave it because I broke my clavicle and then I moved to the US.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not the kind of guy who is a great fan of movies and series, but when I do, I do prefer mostly thriller, horror, suspense and drama movie genres.
In music genres, I listen pop, rock, metal, house, electronica and some of hip-hop. I'm always open to listen new kind of music. Lately, I'm falling in love with the Bossa Nova and Classic music.
I really don't read. I hate it. I can barely read the academic research papers that are useful for my research. I lost the attention quickly when I'm not interested in what I am reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Brazil. It was amazing. I cannot write all the awesome stuff of that experience. From learning a new language to travel around the country, making new friends and adapting me to their culture. My life changed a lot since then.
