About Me

I am a lively person on the inside, quiet on the outside. Maybe because of that, I think one of the most amazing things in life are the connections we establish with other people, being those either for life or instants. It's been a while I am looking for inspiration from other people's art and different experiences of world culture, so I am very glad I am on this exchange program, as inspiration and culture experiences surround me! Apart from getting that good part of life, I believe one's occupation should be make other people have a good life, also. So I always try to make something bigger than me. In the past years, I found it in social architecture, but I am trying to expand it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a beautiful idea, as any relationship of changes.

Interests

As of my work, I am interested on social and sustainable architecture, but beyond this, I am interested on social programs in general and sustainability, ever since I can remember.
For leisure, I love music! I love how the song we're listening to can change our feelings, sometimes, and expresses them, at others. Then I love to be amazed by listening to it and diverted or relieved by playing them (but that one just sometimes, as I had really got no talent - or study)! I enjoy finding new artists and sharing them to people, so I get my friends full of them and write about the rest on a brazilian blog.
I love writing and I have some poems I feel glad about. I love drawing and painting, also, and recently I am combining the poems with paintings, making an art that expresses myself and makes me happy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made a few projects (but I think they're a lot for a student) for social communities around my city, and saw their smiles.
I have made a series of self-portraits and exposed them.
I have DJed once, which was something I had always wanted.
I am living in the city I have always dreamed to and travelling around Europe!

Teach, Learn, Share

For learning, I am open to everything, as every knowledge isn't enough. I am specially interested in learning languages and of course, different cultures.
For teaching, if you were a child, it would be easier, but I can teach you portuguese or something of greek or any language I know a few! Or maybe some tips of playing music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share my art!
And, of course, all of my few experience of life.
