About Me

----- PLEASE READ THE "MY HOME" TAB IF YOU WANT TO SEND ME A COUCH REQUEST! -----

CURRENT MISSION

Celebrate life and make the best of it!

ABOUT ME

I guess you have to find it for yourself...but hey! The recommendations from my friends might give you an idea of my personality!

I can't conceive my life without travelling...I love being surrounded by people and I am all about new experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that every little thing in life should be magical and meaningful.

"Se lembrar de celebrar muito mais!"
(O Teatro Mágico)

"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything only happens a certain number of times - and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being, that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty - and yet it all seems limitless..."
.......(Brandon Lee)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to attend the CS meetings in London, host people and help them around London. Here in São Paulo, I can hang out, show CSers the city and all!

I try hosting people here in Brazil whenever possible, too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted, I've been hosted, I travelled with CSers, I've been to meetings, I've been a tour guide for CSers...

It's been wonderful so far!

Music, Movies, and Books

TMNT are the best!!! =P

Zombie books are my favourite! Mainly the ones that aren't very serious!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess the most amazing thing for me is that I feel incredibly lucky in all my trips cause no matter what, I'm always meeting amazing people and making the best friends one could possibly have in this life. Going away knowing that a friendship will remain intact is one of the best feelings ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can help you out with language learning and cooking (which is a passion of mine).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you teaching you Portuguese, Spanish or English. I can teach you about architecture, video games and cooking! Hahaha..some very random stuff!

I can also dance some Brazilian rhythms if that interests you.
