About Me

ABOUT ME

I think of myself as a open minded person. I'm always trying to learn and experience the best out of all the people i met and the situations that i live. I never hesitate to do new things, i believe that experiencing different ways of living builds us. Jumping to the unknown is what makes us grow best :). I can get a little existencial sometimes, but i have a pretty good sense of when and how it's ok to go to that kind of places. Other than that, i'm a pretty warm person. i love sharing talks, laughs and anything else that comes up. In a big party or in a little dinner, i always enjoy beeing surrounded by sincere and true people. I think that good company and a friendly ambient is the key to having a great time.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life getting the most out of everything. there's always a bright side, there's always growth!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is the ideal way of traveling. it's a beautifull way to really know a place, by experiencing it with it's own people and their own places, by having the chance to have a deep connection with people by sharing cultures and ideas, and by having the chance to be useful and enrich peoples lives by sharing ours with them.

Interests

I' love reading, watching movies, dancing any kind of music...I love learning new steps!!
I'm really into anything that can just blow my mind, being left speechless by a a situation, a phrase in a book or a shot in a movie is what i love the most.
I'm a capoeirista. I've been learning for the last 6 years and playing capoeira makes me very very happy! i play both great styles, Capoeira angola and capoeira regional, but i'ts the first one which i enjoy the most.
Right now i'm exploring juggling..throught my college years i learned contact juggling and Poi and i plan to spend more energy in it now that i finished my studies.
I also like making origami. i can make three or four things by heart and a some more by watching tutorials on youtube :) i love leaving origami behind when i meet someone or visit some place.

Teach, Learn, Share

Through my studies i've learned a thing or two about animals and plants and how nature works (from a cientific point of view, which of course isn't the only one or the most important!) i'd love to share what i learned with anyone who wants to know
i always carry around juggling toys and i love to teach and learn with them!
