About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Knowing the places without knowing their people is simply not worth

ABOUT ME

In a word? Learner.

Want to keep going for what makes a life interesting.
Surprises are always on that road. So I try not to make my horizons shallow. And I hope this can help someone one day. I've been finding so many helpful people in life, that I'd like to know how I could really help others.

I'm not that talkative, but do my best to listen to people and learn from each moment. Actually, I even enjoy the silence; well-done silence is as hard to make up as good music.

I could often go on as in my comfort zone. Do not mind, please, taking me out of it. It'll be a great favour.

And I'm really a hard worker, maybe more than I should. Or maybe not with the right priorities in the moment :)

(honestly, do not take this too seriously, i'm often asking this kind of shit on and on :) )

PHILOSOPHY

There's absolutely no one, from whom you can't learn something.

(and keep forgetting myself about it :) )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not very much, actually. I helped some people who were passing by with a couch, and sometimes I join the meetings in my city. Most of the times, I'm not available to host, so CS for me is a space where I can learn a lot, when I can join.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted sometimes, joined local groups where I've lived. I'm looking forward an opportunity to surf a couch.

Interests

It's difficult to find something I'm not interested in. Music moves me in a way I can't explain. When going out, I like to dance: the envionment is always nice for getting to know other cultures, and very playful. Good talks and new places always lead to great experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music in general. The style doesn't matter that much. What defines good music, for me, is musicality. From AC/DC to Zimbo Trio (challenge me to take the entire alphabet!). But I do listen more to instrumental music, mainly Brazilian.

I have a terrible memory on what I've read or seen. I'm sure much of it is not in these lists.

Books: Crime and Punishment, Dom Casmurro (wow, what a bad memory)

Movies: Fight Club, Kirschblütten, Waking Life, Gran Torino, The Third Man, Big Lebowski, Fearless, Caos Calmo, Mr. Nobody, Inception, Amelie Poulain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Painting a sports place inside a favela in Florianópolis with amazing people from TEDx Floripa.
