About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the life in my home town

ABOUT ME

I was born in a little town on the south coast of Brazil and there I stayed till I decided to move to another city to do the university.
After that I lived for a while in the US to study English, moved to Spain to do my masters and work. In 2010 moved to The Netherlands and finally in September 2012 left to start my one year trip.
I'm very easygoing, friendly, like to be among people, discover knew cultures, tastes... basically love to discover and explore what life saves to me!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to guide my life with common sense, thus do things which will not harm others or myself.
I do believe that we are in this life to get most of it and also give the most we can. Learn, help, travel, be social and take care of the world we have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have basically surfed so far because I got to know about CS during my trip in southeast Asia.

Now I'm back in my home town and hope I'll be able to host/ help some traveller here as well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely all my experiences in CS were amazing, no complaints or bad moments at all!

Interests

Love travelling and maybe this is my biggest addiction! Also love photography, enjoy going out to have some drinks and meet people, love going to beach, listen to good music, read books, do yoga, cook. This list is not finished!

Music, Movies, and Books

Very open, but would mention some of my favorite at the moment... The black seeds, Katcfire, Tiki Taane, Kora, Fat Freddys Drop. Would also mention some others which are often on my ipod: The black keys, Ben Harper, Bonobo, Stephen Marley, Dezarie, Incubus

Last books I have read and enjoyed a lot are The perfume, the hungry tide, white tiger, The Tao of Physic, Millennium Trilogy. Right now more into some politics written by Noam Chomsky.

Would mention here some classics which come up in my mind at the moment... The perfume, inception, 12 years a slave (just watched and liked it). Well, will need to come back here sometime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Basically I think the greatest thing I've ever done was deciding on a year trip, which I finished on Dec 2013. I went around India and some countries in Southeast asia. I would say I lived the dream!
While in Thailand I went on a liveaborad trip in Thailand to Similan island, Koh Bon, and Richileu Rock and had some amazing dives!
Once again underwater... In Indonesia I went to Flores Island to dive in the Komodo archipelago and those were the most incredible dives I ever did. dozens of sharks and some other amazing animals I had never seen before.

Teach, Learn, Share

sharing is my philosophy. "Take what you need, give what you can".
