Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To spread the 'light' by the world! To help people to the happiness path!
ABOUT ME
I'm a spiritualist person, calm, a bit serious and shy at the start of a relationship but with time a bit goofy and jooky. I'm a good listener accostummed to ear long histories from both old mans plentyful of experiences or from teenagers wondered (or scared) with the new world which unfold before his eyes.
I like Arts, Poetry (specially Iranian, Arabic, Sufi, Muslim or Bahai), literature and cinema. Also I have a weakeness for sociology and reflections about our world, but I don't stay annoying my friends with this stuff (to don't appear to be the most boring guy on the earth let'me say in my defence that I'm mountaineer and actually I train indoor climbing! lol).
I like to say that all mankind fit on me. Because I (proudly) have ancestors in all continents. My father was from a german family mixed with austriac and italian blood. My mother carried the elements of 'the land' with indigenous, african and 'brazilian' blood. And many times I think that my soul came from the land of the rising sun (Japan). So, to me (as a good brazilian) it's natural to have affinitie with folks of any place of the world.
PHILOSOPHY
"The origin of the world is one,
The origin of all human beings is one,
The origin of all religions is one."
"God is Light"
In essence a practical faith.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Don't had experiences throught this site yet. In the spiritualist group which I take part sometimes we are hosted at peer's house or in a dojo, so have a bit of experience couchsurfing at others house or with unknowns.
