I like study and talk about political/history/sociology/political geografy and psicology.
I like travel and going out not only to see the tourist atractions but to see were the inhabitants like to go and how is their life style.
I'm a vegetarian going to vegan that love pets (cat's and dogs). And I love birds out of cages. Zoos just make me depressed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel more deeply: meeting people that live in the cities... knowing what´s culture and what´s humans common feelings and desires wherever they live.

It´s very dificult to say others musicians/groups I like because usualy, I like just a few musica of each musician... I can love a music and hate the others of the same musician... Because of that, sometimes I don´t know the name of the artist, even the name of the music I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travels;

Once I did reiki in a friend and I felt her energy. This was very impressive cause I am not a very sensitive person.

And another experience that changed my life was wach the documentary "earthlings" directed and produced by Shaun Monson.

Teach, Learn, Share

Actualmente me gustaría aprender más español! en troca, puedo enseñar danza del vientre y origami boxes hahahahaha!
I´d like to learn martial arts, italian, more english, mountainbike (know ride a bike, but never praticed in the nature or like a sport), meditating, be calm and relaxed. I am a lot anxious about my studies, work... so, if you can teach me some technique, hahahaha! ... Actually, I think that this is a thing you teach more from companionship than with techniques/ formaly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you like alcohol berverages, I can bring you a botle of cachaça. I just love it! It´s the sugar cane brandy tipical from Brasil.
If you like belly dance, I can teach you all that I know.
If you don´t have beans in your country, I can bring some with me, at least for myself! hahahahah I´m kidding, That´s because, yes, I can live without beans but I always miss so much!! Rice and beans are always in my lunch, almost 8 days a week, like the Beatles said. Daily rate proteins guaranteed for a vegetarian!
