About Me

ABOUT ME

Open-minded and easy going person who loves new experiences. I like to try new things and meet new people. I strongly believe that you can learn a lot from anyone, and I enjoy being exposed to new ideas and different ways of thinking .

PHILOSOPHY

Nem tudo que reluz é ouro

Nada es seguro y todo es posible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to experience places properly by meeting local people who actually know the area, and usually people who are willing to share something as sacred as their home spaces are always spectacular people whose generosity makes them worth meeting.

I also enjoy to make new friends coming from all around the world when time comes to host couchsurfers (specially if they are good cook ;).

As many people had been nice with me during my trips, I want to give back the opportunity to people to feel at home, safe and confortable.

Interests

I'm a football addict. If it's the case for you as well, it will be a pleasure to play with you in my city with my friends.

I learnt driving motorbikes when I was 8yo. Since then I never stoped riding all around I could. The feeling of freedom is as unlimited as unexplainable.

I also practice and pretty enjoy scubadiving and beachvolley.

I’m pretty talkative and I like to discuss about life experiences and different point of views.

I particularly enjoy Thai & Indian food.

I love : chai tea, football, Penelope Cruz, karaoke with some beers, waterfalls & the outdoors.

I like to listen music while i'm having shower, I can sing "Knockin on heaven's door" pretty much as Bob Dilan (only in the shower) - so don't ask me to show you my voice skills.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music except heavy metal. I particularly apreciate Soul music, Jazz, funk, classic, salsa, hip-hop music and many others styles.

My favorites movies are : Gladiator, Butterfly effect, City of Good and The Goodfellas.

I enjoy all the books written by Paulo Coelho (the Valkiries is my favorite one). The mystery novels of Agatha Christie fascinate me. I also like to read biographies about people who inspired me regarding my way of thinking like Nelson Mandela or Jack Ma.
