CURRENT MISSION

Right now, it's hard to say. I moved from the Amazon to Rio.

ABOUT ME

You'll see me and think: "What a quiet, intellectual guy. And he's so damn serious".You'll only be wrong about the last part. I'm shy, but I'll start joking with everyone. It may take an hour or a week, but I will.I'll do everything not to bother. If I want, you won't even notice that I'm present. But I'm not a dull company. I like to talk about everything and I'm hardly ever stressed.

Tatiana is a 33-year-old small girl who is VERY talkative, unless she has to speak another language - she will struggle her way to communicate anyway. She plays jokes whenever she has the chance and can feel comfortable with a group of guys at a bar telling dirty jokes. She is also very polite and has something nice to say about everyone she meets.

Disclaimer: my days are busy and usually 3 evenings also are. So, coming on the weekend gives you more of a chance to be in my presence.

Disclaimer 2: that long list of languages on the left applies only to Fernando. Tatiana has Portuguese and struggles with English.

PHILOSOPHY

We're very very slow to judge and label things as "right" or "wrong". We follow no dogmas, so, whatever is OK for everyone involved and does not cause harm to others is right.In general, we seek happiness in experiences (traveling, reading, seeing new stuff), relationships and within the mind. Tatiana likes to buy gifts to everyone, while I could care less about shopping, and it works pretty well this way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing, like everyone, isn't it? I found out that a lot of people want to come here where I live, so maybe I'll host more than surf :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The several hosting and the one traveling experiences have been good so far.

Interests

Some little things:Ballroom dancing;Studying languages;Reading, in general;Walking;Eating;Just sitting and taking;Traveling;Cycling (became a sort of a bike activist recently)Tatiana likes those things too, but she drives more than she cycles.

Music, Movies, and Books

I use my time to go to work to read. So, if I list the book that most interests me here, I'll quickly have to change it.
Tatiana is an archive of singers, songs and movies. There's hardly something she hasn't seen or heard. Both our musical tastes tend to be "old" (that is, we don't rebel against our parents preferences), but we get along with anything that's not just a bunch of meaningless beats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tango show in Buenos Aires;
Coming to Manaus for the first time, looking at the plane's window, seeing trees, trees, trees, water, water and then a big city.

Teach, Learn, Share

That's a little difficult because, in general, one can't teach much over a 3-night stay in someone's house. But let's say a few dance steps and a few dishes are a possibility.
