About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going person. I enjoy having new experiences and I believe the ultimate goal of any human should be to have some fun, but of course doing it without disrespecting others. Living in peace is so much better than living in constant conflict. I could say so much about me, but this pretty much resumes me. Oh, and I am also a very creative person, I think imagination is a wonderful thing. And that's it, hugs and kisses for everyone. Stay in touch.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is enjoy life, enjoy the present, enjoy the friends, enjoy the world. Don't do to others what you don't like for yourself, and everyone is a person and each one of them has the right for pursuing his or her hapiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, going to CS meetings and meet new people there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new at this. One thing I regret is not being able to host just yet, but I'm young, I'm still living in my parents' house and my grandmother is already sleeping in the living room. I hope in the future I will be able to host (probably when I get my own house). Actually I had decided to wait until then to enter this community but I didn't resist it!

Interests

I love cinema and tv series. I am almost addicted to pc games, I like reading books, listening to music, going for a walk, eating delicious food, I like sports (though I don't practice much), playing games (like board games) and be with family and friends. Also like I said before I like having new experiences (Segway rocks). Oh, I also like to write and I frequently act but just for myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think constructing my personality was wonderful, I once participated in a students exchange program (I went one week to a spanish student house and later he came one week to my house - this program was organized by our schools), and I believe seeing this community is an extraordinary thing

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know what to write here, but for example I would like to learn new languages, like Italian, Japanese, Russian. What I could teach? I don't know, Portuguese, chess, how to raise ego.
