About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dreams ... and go for them. Got enough of selfish selfs ... share, give, socialize

ABOUT ME

In a few words? No way! Just a few hints... I like people and people getting together and sharing whatever experience ... a trip, a film, a meal, a few drinks, a party, art, whatever. My prefered moment is getting my friends and friends of friends together for a Sunday meal ... from midday to midnight (Spanish way). Whenever I've had a place of my own, this was something like a tradition. Not the leading one, just making things happen.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave things behind a little better than you found them in the first place. Apply that to everything, everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here and already travelling. For the next months I'll be looking for couches between places where I'll be volunteering. Once I'm back home (wherever that will be) I'll definitively have couch.
Since the concept is excellent, I'll make sure everybody around me knows of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just a couple for the moment, hosted in Sao Paulo (Agnaldo), and met with Hugh, who is living in Rio for the moment.

Interests

Know different people, places and societies. I think if everybody opened their minds to they way other people see and live things we wouldn't have so much sh*t in this world.

  • arts
  • folklore
  • partying
  • drinking
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

On that I'll pass ... so many, so different styles. It's even difficult to tell what makes a good movie, book o theme good ... it just is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What impresses me the most, always, are beautiful sunrises or sunsets in the middle of nowhere, when you can feel the immensity of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

In my volunteering here I've enjoyed a lot teaching computer skills, from assembling to installing them, to a couple of interested kids.
Learning? Anything, really ... you never have enough knowledge.
