About Me

I love cooking! But not that typical cooking with oven sweating and non stop activities all day. What i love the most about cooking is sharing good talking, choosing each ingredient, waiting for the food be prepared and finally enjoying it.
Ok, actually i was not writing only about cooking but about meeting people, sharing knowledge, experiences and happiness. The most important for me is finding a way to be in touch, and the idea of cooking is like using a language without words, but that send some cool messages.
Well, unfortunately i don't play any instruments but love music (lately i'm enjoying very much the minimalist style, i recommend it for everybody, even if the person doesn't like, still counts as experience, right?)
I didn't came from a culture that travel a lot, but i'm learning how to do it and enjoy some precious moments. While travelling what i like most is that cultural exchange, that possibilities to talk with locals, have a chat with elders on the city, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Decided to try the couchsurfing because some great experiences from friends all over the world, talking about meeting other travellers, making friends and chatting. So here i'm trying it and full of stories to share.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always forgot about titles, but the book i'm reading now is White fever and my favorite author is Kafka.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crazy travel to Africa with a great friend, we went to Cabo Verde visited volcano, beach some kind of savanna and i still care a scar about that travel, you can ask me about it if got curious about the story behind and i'll be glad to share.

Teach, Learn, Share

What i love to learn is some manners is each country i visit, the small things are the best. For example, when i'm saying hi for someone i know generally was not with that classic handshake, but with a warm hug. ** Of course i'm not acting like that when i'm travelling unless i became friend with the person.
Another small thing really funny was in french about the differences between "Bonjour" and "Salut". It's pretty obvious for a native speaker but when you're not native you might do some mistakes and embarrass people because informal treatment (same for "vous" and "tu").
Maybe i'm the only one who thing that's funny... or not
