ABOUT ME
PRETTY BUSY LATELY. HOPE TO GET BACK SOON.
------------------------------------------
Born in Brazil. Lived in Italy. Back to Brazil.
Like parties. Good sense of humour. Often I'm the only one to laugh at my jokes. But I keep on trying.
Like travelling. Before midday I'm usually mute. Start getting talkative as the hours passes by, while I watch the long river of eternity flowing into the nothingness.
PHILOSOPHY
“My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whiskey.”
William Faulkner
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host, surf and used to participate on the CS Pisa meetings. Now going to Joinville meetings.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have already hosted some members, couched sometimes too. I used to play the tour guide at Pisa.
I've discovered that hosting is the best way to learn how to be a good CS guest. The host's words are law, and guests shall respect them.
Interests
My girlfriend.
Knowing people and the singular points of view that each culture has regarding the world.
Literature. Reading, writing and translating with no method, except by my instinct. Searching instinctive methods for that.
Sports in general
The good things of life.
Night, oh how tender is the night!

I can't teach so many things, but at least how to do a typical brazilian Caipirinha, the southbrazilian barbecue (Churrasco) and some of my country's culture I can;
Some words in portuguese (but if you have the time and the patience, a whole course is also available) and some brazilian football tricks;
And I can also teach you how to live without being so serious. Don't laugh! I'm being serious right now.
