About Me

I'm an eternal smiling dreamer every time prepared to a new adventure, I'm such curious guy who doesn't like rules that limited the human potential and freedom. Even if I'm a Mechanical Engineer because i like to know how the world works, I also enjoy areas totally away from engineering scope.
In past I did International Volunteering, I had a great year in south of Italy, my first big experience abroad, plenty of pretty nice adventures.
Because the life is an unique opportunity it makes sense to take risks achieving the personal fulfillment, then I intend to continue wandering in this small village called world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a dreamer and world citizen i believe in a global village and this is just possible if more people believe on that. The best way to live with our neighborhood in this village is sharing, not just the couch but experiences, making new friendships and share knowledge. As the travels are the only thing that you can buy which will make you richer, then why not become it as cheap as possible at the same time we enrich exponentially our experience. Lets just kick out the capitalism at least in couchsurfing.

Interests

Passions... I'm really addicted by cinema, collecting movies and movies, #NOhollywood#. In music, i also have collected tickets and tickets of low fy and alternative music, mainly between rock and jazz.
I always like to try different stuff, i like to cook too and experiment different types of gastronomy, spice and teas, it's a kind of art for me.
Likewise sports, i enjoy my free time playing football, tennis, mountain bike and trekking as well I like to travel, therefore it was fantastic to know about Geocaching in a couchsurf experience. Thus I could feel entirely the connection between sports and amazing landscapes.
Since I have arrived in Germany a good friend invited to climb, I still trying reach the top :)
My last sport experience was surfing in the coldest ocean, Atlantic one. I still a really beginner.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lost in the world of rock, jazz and blues... since Jeff Buckley till Arcade Fire, passing for Charles Bradley. I also have interest for electronic and cumbia music.

In my little big world of cinema, there's place to America Latin and European schools until the brilliant Asian world. The "Rang De Basanti" or "Crash" are some of my references.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to enjoy the simple things as amazing things that way when I challenge myself to get adventure I think that's amazing, then beyond my international experience doing volunteering, it was a quite challenging to sleep in a garden in middle heart of a caotic and amazing city like Naples.
Last crazyness: Santiago path by bike from Porto, with no previous preparation, result: 240km 3days, huge pain in the ass :) but i got it

Teach, Learn, Share

Every time there's something to learn as well to teach, it depends which person you're gonna meet

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all, a big smile... and a good conversation is guaranteed, being me a curious guy I easily get interested for different life ways and perspectives. Thus I want to share some fun stuffs about Portugal as well some personal interests...
