About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living the moment! It's called present for a reason... :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a very social person as I love to meet new people and make new friends. Being alone is not really my thing. :)

I'm also very active. I don't usually stay quiet for too long (unless when I'm sleeping) and I prefer being in the street than in home.

My friends usually describe me as friendly, sincere and goodhearted person.
I try to be nice to others as I hope others to be nice to me. Kind of a karma thing...

I try to expand my culture as much as I can and I love to learn new subjects, sharing knowledge, experiences, cultures and try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
John Lennon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I normally have couchsurfing experience everytime I travel... but never using web applications. Normally just staying at a friends house or a friend of a friend house. :)
I just need a place to rest my head and I can sleep anywhere.
Normally there's always a couch somewhere.

Interests

The top two interest of my life are music and cooking.
I play guitar and I'm trying to invest more time in the music world.
My family has a small restaurant so I just inherit the love for food and cooking from my mother.

As almost everybody I love to travel and meet new places. To meet the less known but amazing places in towns.

I love good weather, sun, beach, surf and riding my Vespa. I don't really like rain and bad weather.
I love the small things in life. Being with friends and meeting new people, going to good parties, concerts and festivals.

I used to practice Capoeira but lately has been difficult to have the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hear all kinds of music... since classical Bach, passing in 70's Beatles, going to Tom Jobim and Seu Jorge until Netsky in Drum n' Bass and Nicolas Jaar in Minimal Techno. I just love good music andI believe that you can find it in every gender. You just have to know it. My favorite band is Pearl Jam, but lately I've been listening more good electronic music. I just love the parties. My favorite movie is Twilight... I'm just kidding. I haven't seen it. I don't think I have a favorite movie... like music I just like good movies in any gender. Shutter Island, Across the Universe, Trainspotting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Matrix, Human...
I prefer fantasy stories in books, like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I read Siddhartha from Hermann Hesse and it's really amazing. When we meet, we can share all of this. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made a road trip for one month in the Portuguese, Spanish and French south coast, playing music with 5 friends in the street and restaurants so we could pay the journey.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some portuguese food (best in the world :)) or any food you like.
You can learn your first chords in a guitar or ukulele.
