About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from everywhere, to learn about them and let them know about Brazilian culture

ABOUT ME

I´m a little shy but curious to know more about the rest of the planet and its people as well. I like to meet people from everywhere, to learn languages, to let people know about my country, to travel and to be surprised about what new this world can bring me.

PHILOSOPHY

What we´ll take from the life, will be the life that we had. Then, I think that each one who come through our life, leave lessons and experiences and for this purpose, I want to meet as much people as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once I hosted a German guy and it was amazing. I never traveled by CS before, but I'm planning to do it soon.

Interests

My interests are mainly focus on estuarine fishes. To have fun, I like to read, to listen to music, to travel, to meet friends, to watch sports on television and live. I like to speak a lot too. :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love to watch films, but I always forget. Some of my favorites are Cold Mountain, 21g, Crash
Music: I´m really eclectic to this issue, but I love Brazilian music as Gilberto Gil, Rita Lee, Lenine, Zé Ramalho, Marisa Monte, I like the Classical ones, the old ones (80´s and before), the soft ones...
Books: Brazilian writers as Machado de Assis, Zélia Gattai and Érico Veríssimo. I loved Dan Brown, the great navigators of the ancient times, Isabel Allende, Kim Edwards, biographies...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- In my country we have a lot of contrasts, then I had a trip from South to Northeast by bus. It was really hard but amazing because I could see the changing landscape and the people as well. I spent a month at Brasilia, the capital city working and I saw another culture; after, a month and a half at almost the whole state of Mato Grosso do Sul meeting people and seeing that landscape with an amazing fauna mainly of birds. I learned a lot about our culture.
- I visited Le Mont Saint Michel. Just wonderful :)
- I have traveled by car in Europe, 10 days;

Teach, Learn, Share

I like all kinds of people, but mainly the ones that like to be happy naturally, people who like to speak, who like to share experiences (so, I can learn), who likes to see what the world offer... I like to help the other to learn my language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Now a days I can't host, but I'd like to meet up. I'm living at São Mateus (Espírito Santo), tropical Brazilian coast. Nice beaches and good food. Come to see, I can show you around :)
