About Me

~ CURRENT MISSION
Looking for life balance.

~ ABOUT ME
In love with life! Very good company to anything, you can count on me.
I'm very intense and maybe I'm not the most easygoing person that you'll meet, but I try to always be kind and respect others how they are.
I value my friends and family above everything. I have different interests since culture, food until entertainment. Curiosity and respect are my trademarks, I generally prefer to learn and discover new things such as places and restaurants than repeat experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

[ I wrote a whole text and the page didn't save it. Let's go again... :/ ]

When I was 16 I did a technical course in Tourism and Leisure. But I always thought that the general routes and itineraries were very impersonal and commercial. In my opinion they took out the main idea of travel whereas that they popularize destinies and cities and save the work from a lot of busy people at the same time that they don't show the real soul, life and culture from the places and generally charge a lot for this.

So, after meeting Couchsurfing it rekindle my passionn for travelling. Because it's exactly the idea that I have of trips: sharing experiences, learning different things, listening to stories and other points of view and improving ourselves.

In a certain way, couchsurfing includes people that didn't have the opportunities to travel with prepared tour and trip packages that usually are very expensive. I know that there must be a lot of people that don't surf with the right intentions, it's just a money save. But from my experiences I learn that there are more good intentioned people than the opposite.

Unfortunately, as I'm living with my parents I'm not able to host people because of space and they want privacy... But it'll change as soon as I find a place or they move to the countryside, what happens first. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even it sounds as a cliché, I try to do at least one thing that I really like if not everyday, the maximum that I can. Of course there are some things that are unforgettable as:

- Night bike ride at Pipa: there were almost 15km riding a bike with the full moon light and just this. To see that coconut plantations, the sea and the beach with the just the moon bright. I can't even speak about that. As a plus there are planctons that shine at night if you touch them, besides the high tide that is incredible. It's a must do there.

- Sian Khan Reserve: it was one of my last days in Mexico and it couldn't be better. Real nature, wild dolphins, turtles, birds... Natural salt swimming pool. Diving. It was wonderful.

- Chapada dos Veadeiros: Every place is a must go. You can stay a month or 6 and still everyday you have something new to visit. Moon valley, the national park, waterfalls, Raizama, private lands... There are places to everyone.

- Brazil's northeast: that's a reason why there are so many tourists. and it's just because its people an wonderful places not only beaches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it's what we do all the time, right? If not, it should be.
Life is an eternal cycle of learning, sharing and teaching.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, brazilian desserts and gifts, photos and above all: good moments together.
My company to hang out, go to a bar, dive and my ears to hear all you have to share with me... I' up to everything. ;)
