Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My mission is to learn and grow. And learning is all about knowing, understanding and meeting people.
ABOUT ME
I believe one is better defined at first glance by what one does and thinks, so here we go! :) Small pieces of the whole:
*I love to play the guitar and recently I am learning how to play the ukulele
*I have studied theatre for two years and have performed two plays within a theatre group called GTP at São Paulo.
*I enjoy to learn a new language and a foreign culture.At the moment, I am making my efforts to improve my french! ;)
*I enjoy talking about meanings in life and politics. But when I say politics I mean the attitudes that we take to make our environment a better place including of course people and nature.
*I am a music lover
*I enjoy the sun, the sea and the beach
*I like photography. At the moment, trying to take decent pictures on a DSLR... :)
*My perfect night plan would be a beer with friends, a guitar and a fireplace in a distant beach.
*Engineering is cooler if u mix that with art and creative projects. My professional goal is to cope these areas squeezing the best of them.
*And above all I like the thrilling, fear and excitement of facing the unknown!
PHILOSOPHY
The thing I like most is to learn. I could not have found truer words than Gandhi´s quote: "Live as if you would die tomorrow, learn as if you would live forever".
Besides that, I search in the world a refugee of people that can think by the whole and not by themselves, like the most.
This is the closest of my philosophy that was expressed in words:
"Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed"
Excerpt from Guaranteed - Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild OST

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a very thankful person for the possibilty of meeting the human beings I met while I'm studying here in Europe. Thanks to them I learned a lot and I am sure you, dear reader, and me can share and grow together!
Interests
I like to read, to meet new people and learn more about their culture, to play soccer,to camp, to meditate and to watch a good movie and a party is always enjoyable :)
Music, Movies, and Books
I like brazilian music (MPB) Chico Buarque and Tom Jobim are my favorite composers.
My favorite movies are The Godfather trilogy, Into the Wild and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
I don´t have a preference for books, each book is a special experience.But the one that really changed my mindset was The Road Less Traveled - Dr. Scott Peck. I extremely recommend this book if we by chance have the opporunity to talk I can show you why :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The first moment was when I needed to live by my own because I needed to move to study in a different city. The first days were really hard because I was 16 and I was used to live with my parents. They did my food, my laundry, etc. The second moment that left me awestruck was the first time I visited Madrid in Spain. Actually it was last year, and the city is just amazing. Every ´calle´ and ´bar de tapas´ are awesome and the people here are very receptive.
Teach, Learn, Share
As long we share we learn. If we are sharing our lifes and experiences we are learning.
