About Me

Love to travel and meet people and places.
Love maps.
I usually get up early, even after that great party, wich i also enjoy very much specially with live music!!
I like the sunrise better than the Sunset. But the full moon is also inspiring.
Can´t live without music... it´s like air!!! I play acoustic Guitar and a bit of Percussion, mostly Samba and Bossa Nova. I Also like dancing, specially "Forró".
There´s nothing like friendship, and i can say i do my best for them.

There´s a Brasilian song called "Samba da Benção", writen by the great Vinicius de Moraes, that says something like this:

"Cuidado, companheiro!
A vida é pra valer
E não se engane não, tem uma só.
Duas mesmo que é bom
Ninguém vai me dizer que tem
Sem provar muito bem provado
Com certidão passada em cartório do céu
E assinado embaixo: Deus"

Trying to translate:

Be carefull my friend!!
Life is for real.
And don´t be fooled, there is only One!
Two, no one´s gonna convince me that there is,
without proving it very well proved,
with certification from notary´s office
and signed bellow: GOD"

So... Live and let Live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People make it interesting. Exchange of ideas, experiences... making friends.
Trusting someone you just met makes me think not everything´s lost... hope on mankind.
I´ve surfed a few couches and met some people for a coffe around the world. It was always great experiences, and it really made me feel less as a tourist and more as a local, wich in my opinion is the best way to get to know a place.
I´ve never hosted anyone yet cause i travel a lot for work and pleasure, but i hope to do it someday.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I travel a lot for work, but when i´m at home i normaly have plenty of time during the week and sometimes on the weekends, so i would love to hang out for whatever you´re up to.
There´s a nice swimming pool on the building´s rooftop with great view, where we can spend some time also.
There are some bikes also that can be used as well.
