About Me

ABOUT ME

Hey guys!! I'm Brazilian and I lived in different countries in my life. I'm friendly and a open minded person.I travel around the world not only to see things but to live new experiences. Meet new people of different cultures and living close to local people is the best way to know a folk.
We are unique! How I heard in southeast Asian: Same Same but different.
I like to see and learn different cultures and people. I like discovering the best characteristics of a people and a city.
I've worked to Brazilian government, good job, but I left after couple of years to backpack around the world and restart my life living different experiences.
Always you can make more money but never you can make more time. Spread kindness and love around as you can.
Time is the one of the most precious things that you have!
I'm very appreciate for the simple things of the life. I'm blessed for the good people around me, always the destiny make my way better than I dream of.

Don't want to sound rude or dense, really, but... I won't buy the notorious "I just need a shower and a place to sleep" slogan, I have no time for volunteering as a free hotel manager ;D Couchsurfing is exchange! some how is loosing the spirit that was the difference of this network.

So if you just think that couchsurfing is a place where to sleep for free, I don’t think that you have to write to me, because is not what i really want.
Couchsurfing is ART , FRIENDS, CARE, SHARE , LOVE, KNOWLEDGE, FUN, TALKS, TRUST.

PHILOSOPHY
I believe that every person is a unique human being.
In my opinion, what matters most in relationships are not only the similarities but the wish to happily share the differences , respect for each other and the love.
Living in a world where everybody helps each others , Where you can trust people , where you are safe , peacefull

if you give a little love you can get a little love of your own

Be yourself no matter what they say .....
For me, it is much more exciting to be changed by the other's diversity than to look for confirmations from people being "like me"

"Unlike many, I believe we must hold, if not underline, the differences between the man and the woman. The Universe doesn't care at all about peoples and nations: the only thing the Universe knows is that without two different bodies and thoughts there's no future." [Giorgio Gaber]

"...every day when I look out of my window, the sun is shining, people are dancing in the streets and the birds are singing in the trees. If you can't see it from where you're sitting, you need to look out of a different window." [Sukh]

I don't accept templates requests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet interesting people. Learn, see, living situations on day-to-day and cultures.
I am on a mission to make the world a better place to live. I enjoy seeing different parts of the world to see how other people live and create.

I am adventurous and open to new ideas and people. I think it is important to meet people from all over the world and get to know their story. We all need to continue to learn from each other. This happens often for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Impossible to say one, I can say few things: -. But the first one, definitely, is to have become a better person today than I was yesterday. And to do it tomorrow, and day after, and day after. And so on. Then , I have done something else in my life: I have worked as volunteer for Salvation Army in Australia for homeless. - Visit a monastery in Laos and talking about soccer with monks, after that I gave to a guy a t-shirt from their favourite team soccer, Brazil national team.
- Skydiving in Brazil
- Bungee jumping in New Zealand
- Zipline in Las Vegas
I saw Northern lights in Iceland . - I walked through Sahara desert for 4 hours crossing the Pyramids and Sphinx
-Hiking in many mountains in Norway

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking , talk about the history and its countries. Hiking . I love laughing, traveling, nature, festivals, music, concerts, sports and a healthy lifestyle.

IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOWLY YOU GO AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT STOP...
- NO DREAM IS TOO BIG AND NO DREAMER IS TOO SMALL

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, my culture and culture that I have learned. Also, I can offer you Home, a place where to feel at home totally , my house will be yours till you will be staying inside .
Life is relationships and memories.
With CS I can find myself more than a place to sleep or just meet random people. Be more than a couch for someone to crash on; I can find myself a local (or traveler) that we can share our experiences together.

Travelling is to leave home
is to leave friends
is to try flying.
Flying to meet new branches
to walk roads
is to try changing.

Travelling is to dress of crazyness
is to say “I don’t mind”
is to want to come back.
Come back to value the little
to enjoy a drink
is the desire of starting again.

Travelling is to feel poet
to write a letter
is to want to hug.
Hugging when you reach the door
missing the calm
Changing plans

Travelling is to become worldy
is to meet other people
is to start again.
Starting to offer your hand
to learn from the stronger
is to feel the loneliness.

Travelling is to leave home
is to dress as a madman
saying everything and nothing with a
postcard.
Is to sleep in another bed
feel that the time is short
Travelling is to come back
