About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn something positive and do my by best everyday!!!

ABOUT ME

I guess the best introduction of myself begins with my origins:
My mother's Finnish (working for Swedish people...), my father's Portuguese (living in Brazil), and I was born in Switzerland!!
That gives an idea of how much my education has been variated.
About my philosophy and interests, you'll find a big part in the correspondant fields, but if I would have to sum up I would say:
Good points: Sociable, teachable and smiling.
Bad points: Perfectionist, hesitating and exigent.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn something everyday from all the situations!
Always be positive
Be active
Create relationships and sympathy with the persons we see anywhere, just with a smile or a simple thought...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people...I read their request first, then try to answer quickly, I try hard :) and if my couch's available, if I'm home and most importantly, if I have some time to share with my guests, then I welcome them to my place and do my best to make them feel comfortable!
Well, at least it's my goal :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience has been the discovery of it's existence!
I was having dinner with a great friend of mine in a restaurant that she made me discover (thank you Sandra, this dinner was very pleasant!).
After the dessert, 3 Couchsurfers who were in the area joined us and we started to chat about travelling and every kind of experiences of our lives, it was fantastic!
When I came home that night I run to my computer, to see how huge CS was.
Some time later I suscribed, and now I'm a happy CS member, all my experiences can be seen under references or friends links...

Music, Movies, and Books

It's difficult to find a music category for me, let's say I'm basically "pop-rock" and complementary eclectic with no limits, make me discover a new style, I could enjoy it more than I imagine!
For movies I'm mostly attracted by realistic stories, that will make me use my brains a little...And it's always better in the original version.
Now for books, the self-development is something I love to read, true stories that speak about human behavior or education can be great, and noevls may seduce me quite easily if they make me laugh time to time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing that I've done and that I loved to do was to write a theater play in Italian and to act the 8 characters i had created.
It was a work I did for school, we could choose to do anything: a research about a famous person, a presentation of a country, develop a theory about the economy of the World or whatever...
It was amazing because I had this opportunity to entirly choose my subject and I enjoyed it by doing something I wouldn't have dared to do out of a school project.
I basically sat down in coffees to observe people and write down things that came to my mind in order to create a story with very different characters.

The amazing things that I've seen are related to nature: I'm amazed by the colours the sky can have or the beauty of a particular landscape, just all these things that you all have seen!
Other things that have impressed me are shows: One-man shows, impro, ballets, theater plays (again)...Very often they were shows made by a group, the collective effort can be blowing!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I was born to be a student...in any possible field.
Share your passions with me, I'll be more than happy to listen to you!
The next lessons I would like to take are:
Swedish and Thaï
Argentin tango
And other things that I'm not able to describe in English right now...
About teaching, it's more difficult to establish a precise "list", I can share my experiences, that's for sure!!
