After living in Thailand for a couple of months teaching english to kids in a volunteer project and going back home to Brazil to finish my college courses I decided to move to India to work for a big IT Company. As I took much pleasure and learned a lot during the semester I've been spending traveling and working (and writing my thesis as well) in this crazy-awesome land, the work part wasn't at all what I expected. I soon came to realize that working for big companies wasn't my destiny (yeah, I had to cross half of the world to realize that, duh), and decided not to waste time on that any longer. I'm heading down to Brazil for a brief period and after that I'll be moving to Amsterdam with the intent of opening my own stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be setting off for a different adventure and will be looking for someone to help me out on the arrival in Amsterdam or maybe even on the entrepreneur journey that will come ahead.

Interests

My interests are pretty diverse and disperse. I have crazy passions about traveling (surprise!), branding, psychology, and entrepreneurship and marketing. I also love photography and video making, design, coding, social companies and high impact initiatives of every sort. Music is with me always (despite my total lack of rhythm or abilities on that) and reading is a new found compulsion (I read 10 books on the past month).

Music, Movies, and Books

In music as in life I like a little bit of everything. I'm a huge Jack Johnson fan - and like all related artists-, also love The Kooks and a lot of other Indie bands. In contrast I enjoy some Brazilian Sertanejo and also Rock of every sort. Electronic is also great, but I enjoy it mostly at parties.

Movies I'm pretty strict about my favorites: I love those movies that make you think. That you feel like someone just slapped you awake to something new or to a new perspective on something.

On Books I stick more to business related, biographies and psychology stuff. I do believe thought that those books are for everyone and will probably suggest that you read one of them as soon as I get to know you a little better haha

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quitted my 3 years good-carreer-path-job to go to Thailand an take part on a volunteering project to teach english to kids for a couple of months under a promise to my parents that I would be able to finish college on the next semester upon returning - not knowing if I would be able to pull that off...

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what I could teach, I don't really believe that it would be fair to claim something like that. But, I'm an intense sharing person with a variety of random knowledge on random stuff, so I guess one could learn some practical stuff on marketing and entrepreneurship from me... Ah! for sure I can give tips on traveling where I lived so far and help out with planning, cost estimation or just on day dreaming as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything you want to know about Brazil, Thailand and India! I also have been around some other places and plan to visit a thousand more, so on that topic we could talk for days (I literally could do that)... Business related stuff and all sorts of stories from the books I'm currently eating everyday... Well, I'm a very opened person and having lived in houses as a guest in 2 countries with cultures completely different from my own, I can assure that I'll be nice-to-have-around :)
