About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and discover other countries, other cultures, other ways to live and other people.

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious about everything (theater, book,philosophy, romance, love,social movements...) but mostly about the Others: people, culture,other way to live,... Know other people and other culture is the best way to know yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

"A vida é arte do encontro embora haja tanto desencontro pela vida" Vinicius de Moraes.

"Life is the art of meeting although there is so much desagreement in life" Vinicius de Moraes

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If i said the truth, i would say that i have never had couchsurfing experience. I just need to do the first step and i am sure that people here could help me.

Interests

I really like cooking for other people!! Like when i have time, i invite people in my small apartment to share a (good?) diner (otherwise people who said nothing were hypocrite:) hehehe)cooking is a passion. I like going out with my friend (not only!!). I like football and also know other people and talking about everything (strange music, and philosophy). And it's obvious, i'm interested in african and south american culture (languages, music, history, politics,football...)

African Music (like Afro beat and high life (fela, orlando julius,...), from angola (Jovens do Prenda, ... and certain Kuduro), Congo Rumba, Soukouss) Ethiopia Ghana, Benin Mali and senegal..., Hip-Hop (french, american, brazilian, english,...) portuguese music (fado and Portuguese rock), electro (some of minimal music, trip hop, breakbeat, and "electro-tropical" (Quantic or Gilles Peterson)... But it's not exhaustive list...i like when people share with them knowledge about that.
