ABOUT ME

I have joined Couchsurfing to do something I have always been after in life: meeting new people and learn from them. As journalist and teacher, I pretty much know the importance of going deep into new cultures and experiences and this is the reason that has made me move out of my home country (Brazil) to live in NZ. I pretty much enjoy the simplicity of life, the spontaneity, the easy smile, the hunger for learning, the free and unlimited expression of art and life which touch me deep inside with my senses. It all sounds a bit too philosophical, but it´s just my real self.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nothing human is strange to me" (Terence)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcoming all the hard walls life has put me through is something that I timidly pride of (as I don't like to talk about them). I have seen amazing things in Brazil and NZ which I'd better tell in a live dialogue.

Teach, Learn, Share

Empirical humanities (my daily learning like respect, tolerance, personal progress etc)

From the academic and professional backgrounds I can " teach" and learn about media, journalism, education, mass communication, literature, languages, travelling etc.
