About Me

"Some people, you know, they never change"... That's what my friends tell me when we meet. :0)
So I really hope I've been somewhat good from the start. :p
I'm a hard-working girl, but my name is a verb in Hawaiian meaning "to live life idly" (not my fault!)

PHILOSOPHY:

"I've arrived. I'm home. My destination is in each step." - or in Pumbaa's words (The Lion King): "Home is where your rump rests!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because...
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to host and be hosted in return."
--- Couchsurfing Rouge :p

So far I've surfed in Brazil only and all my hosts were amazingly friendly. I had a great time and hope I can meet them again someday, somewhere! :) As soon as I settle down in this new town I'm moving to, I'd like to offer my couch this time!

Interests

I'll "topicalize" it for once in my life:
* Psychological and behavioral theories;
* Personal theories of life, love, co-living in this world and everything in heaven and earth that are dreamt of in your philosophy;
* Adventure/eco sports;
* Cycling;
* Regional tales and traditions;
* New songs and rhythms to play in the guitar;
*Languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

That's a nice topic for a cozy and live conversation, don't you think? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Flying over Cappadocia in a balloon;
- Being unable to breathe right in front of the waterfalls in Foz do Iguaçu;
- Hearing (and helping) people shout "Latinoamérica! Latinoamérica!" during - Calle 13's show in SP;
- My grandma smiling her "Good morning!" at me; my 2-year cousin taking a pic of me just to ask if it was 'joia' (fine)!
- Classes when they make you feel alive and barely able to listen to all the new ideas rising up from the depths of your consciousness;
- Being able to cycle up a steep hill and enjoy the feeling when you get there. §*.*§

Teach, Learn, Share

I never know what to write here because I always find out interesting stuff I wasn't even dreaming of learning. I hope the opposite also happens!
