About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm afraid that if i told you, I'd have to kill you

ABOUT ME

I read, write, run, walk, swim, jump, laugh, cry, watch movies, make movies, call my friends, go to the beach, listen to music, write some music, take pictures, cook, practice sports and a whole bunch of other things. In between I work in advertising as a copywriter. But that's just on the free time.

PHILOSOPHY

The best is yet to come, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to enjoy the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve couchsurfed at a country ambassador´s place. It made me understand a lot about the entire couchsurfing system. Currently, I am afraid my participation will be limited to hosting as much as I can. Will be moving on to geting more verified and make a donation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I joined CS, as a surfer I had only done this staying at friends, or friend's friends, or friend's cousin's uncle's friend's friends, that kind of thing. As host I always had people over through pretty much the same kind of connection.

I joined CS while living in Spain, and even though I wasn`t able to host anyone there for conflicting dates, I had fantastic experiences as a surfer all over Europe! So here goes once again my personal thanks to all my hosts:

Marco (Porto), Andrea (Lisbon), Pedro (Barcelona), Felipe (Bologna, but he´s not in CS), Tiziano (Veneto region), Joe (Viena), Laura (Prague) and Grazia (Munich).

As a host, so far I have hosted 1 person, from Australia. Cheers David!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't live without movies. So many of them... Forrest Gump, Lord of The Rings, but no one can only live out of Hollywood, so of course I have my share of asian, european, and latin-american movies... this could go on forever! Better if we just meet and talk about movies!

Music: Rock! Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Jet, Killers, Mando Diao, Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Razorlight, you get the picture

Books: 100 years of solitude, Crime and Punishment, Swann's Way, Angústia, and many others

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve survived all the amazing things I´ve done so I can do even more amazing things!

Teach, Learn, Share

When life gives you a lemon, get some more of them, add some sugar, mash'em together, add ice and cachaça, shake it like you mean it, and you got yourself a caipirinha, Brazil's famous drink.

When you´re on the street and have something to throw out, just keep it until you find a trash can, it can't take that long.
