ABOUT ME

I'm the least recommended person to talk about myself

PHILOSOPHY

I wouldn't say this is my personal philosophy, it's just that I really like this quotation from Trainspotting and didn't think of anything better I could put here.

"Choose life.
Choose a job.
Choose a career.
Choose a family.
Choose a fucking big television.
Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers.
Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance.
Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments.
Choose a starter home.
Choose your friends.
Choose leisurewear and matching luggage.
Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics.
Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning.
Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.
Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrasment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life.
But why would I want to do a thing like that?
I chose not to choose life..
I chose something else.
And the reasons?
There are no reasons."

You are what you choose to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing and spreading the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before getting to know CS, I have surfed a few couches in France & Italy. Then, when I got back to Rio, signed up and started hosting. For the past few months, surfed some couches, hammocks and matresses in Central America and 'hosted' people in my tent.
