Giving away the ocean to discover that one drop more

ABOUT ME

I love and try hard to become emotionally less dumb :)
I admire people who can communicate their feelings and emotions without demolishing the world, and maybe because I felt every bit of burning souls like Dostojevskij, Kerouac, Faulkner, Eliade.
I like innovation, science and governance of new ideas which do not sound disrouptive for society and environment.
I am a good observer, can be critical and I can stay quite.

I love portraits made of words, metaphores, images.
I love the silence communicating with landscapes, and the gestures of people. I am also wackily attracted by oddities and curious experiments in approaching life, like eating bugs, attempting to construct a boat made of recycled plastic bottles and failing, crossing europe by bicycle, trying to learn russian with slow-motion youtube videos, trying hard to understand scientific papers where I don't have a background in it (physics, biology) and self-learning.

Among the most interesting things I've done, is founding a startup and failed hard for timing and team.
Among the most beautiful relationship I had, they were met and start on the street by chance.
Among most wanted things I'd like to experience, there's burning man and crossing deserts - most private public spaces. And I want to live on a boat - I tried to build it with plastic bottles, and learnt that salt water can be very much corrosive.

I love water, and started a course in scuba-diving.
Sipping a cocktail after a good swim is fantastic shimmering feeling, just as dreaming of starshots watching the sky from a shelter in the mountains, nose up the air, with a cold breeze skimming over.

As music, I am a lunatic explorer. I cannot remember much who I listen to.
I ll tell you I start to play guitar to counter-part my little nephew of 8 y.o., she's playing violin, and me rocking star over a major scale FCAG hell yeah

I tried yoga, and despite it made be real good, I ll tell you am a bit scattered with the mind this period (spring 2016) to keep practicing as an habit. But when it happens, I truly enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS in 2007.
Since then, it changed quite a bit, and so do I.
I like that you can meet and engage with a person with no need to pass through fake smiles and small talks.
And it cheers me up.

Interests

Innovation and innovative ideas. Scuba-diving. Sailing (todo list). Learning guitar.
The sun over naked skin. Learning new things from different fields, and ask about crazy questions that arise to my mind.
The mistery of emotions knitting cohesion or disruption in societal coexistence.
Writing memories.
Shifting from a "Why" to a "How". And sometimes, oh yes, backwards.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A site where I learnt programming by myself, as a follow up of my startup - it is an experiment to accelerate research - http://nifty.works

Iguaçu Falls.

Crossing Netherlands / Moldova by bycicle, faster than the speed of the light by excitement of getting there.

The white desert Egypt; "loosing" myself a little bit in the desert by night, and get back to meeting point by orienting with stars.

Interviewing and accessing "hidden places" and livelihoods in Morros (the called favelas) in Rio - (later spotting the ones in the movie Tropa de elite....)

Interviews and trying to help EWNC ngo to raise awareness on land property conflict of interest, gentrification and environmental issues concerning the Winter Olympic games 2014 - sorry guys, I failed in being able to publish the material of my report.

San pedro de Atacama desert, living full attraction with a girl who bring me first to his friend "house" (no more than a room with a guy with little mental issues which was gelous of her and, as a reply to my hand towards him to introduce myself, throw a shoe in my face).

A funny one - I locked myself in a trolley of a supermarket and pretend it was a candid-camera. Asked for 1 € to get free to people. No one but one did it, and when I said, look, there's the camera by pointing to a street sign, a mother and her teenager daughter, drove by a sense of getting popular which totally torn reality apart, reddished and start waving hands smiling to the yield panel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can handle a good conversations over innovations, learning languages, learning from failures. Practically I can teach about photography, or design tools.
I enjoy exploring combination of food and cook for you.
