CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going brazilian guy who loves meeting new people and learning new cultures. when I'm travelling to a new place I feel like I'm living years in days... and I fucking LOVE this feeling.

PHILOSOPHY

'be the change you want to see in the world.' - gandhi

I live the moment. I do believe in karma... I give love and peace to our world and that's exactly what I get back.

namaste.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe that knowledge is only valid when shared. it's that amazing feeling we have after learning something new and very interesting from a complete 'strange' person we've just met... that's why I'm here, to share knowledge.

Interests

astronomy, reading, yoga, arts, playing football, music, learning, dancing, backpacking, surfing, meeting new people, computers, sharing knowledge, comic books, smart girls... LIVING.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't imagine my life without reading, travelling and listening to music.

I listen led zeppelin, the doors, pink floyd, bob dylan and marley, rolling stones, reggae, blues and jazz. THE BEATLES is the best band ever!

I watch scorcese, coppola, tarantino. it's always a good time for a great sci-fi movie or an interesting european alternative one. love cinema.

I love all kind of reading, from nietzsche to george r.r martin. including...

the great dystopia's books like 1984, brave new world and fahrenheit 451;

'romeo and juliet' and 'hamlet' from shakespeare, 'pride and prejudice' from jane austen made me travel back in time...

v for vendetta, sandman, watchmen and hellblazer are incredible comic books;

isaac asimov's trilogies 'the foundation' and 'robots series' are the best sci-fi ever;

'one hundred years of solitude' from gabriel garcia 'el gabo' marquez is an unique piece of art. I cried reading that for the first time... and I always do.
