CURRENT MISSION

To tell stories!

ABOUT ME

I have this pulse inside of me. Curious about lots of subjetcs, I want to know as much as I can. Studying, listening, feeling, observing.

Right now, I am working in a Landscape Design Office and planning the trip of my life. At least, the very first long one. Until then, open to what life can bring to me! Who knows?!

PHILOSOPHY

To love. That, to me, is the most complete human experience possible in life. Within all its profoundness and transcendency, in everything I do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new at this, invited by a very special friend. Hope to find new good friends from around the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only surfing the website, yet. Hope to have great experiences to share in a while! But actually, I had a very interesting experience once:

I had to make an exam in Belo Horizonte, Brasil, few years ago (2007). The hotel I reserved was the cheapest I could find. The result: one of the worst nights I had spend in my whole life (loooots of cockroaches, noises, violent police acts in front of my open window, and so on...). After the first part of the exam, a group of students presented themselves and we went to lunch together. I told about my night and a girl from BH offered me her house. I slept on her bed while she went to work at the afternoon. Later, her father and brother came in without knowing who I was! In the end, I had the most warm and caring stay I could possibly imagine. Such a beautiful family!!! Lucky me, we're still friends! BTW, never passed that exam and I'm very thankful for that!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little bit about astronomy (I have a telescope!). It will only depend on our not very dependable paulista sky. Also some free talks about brazilian music and cinema. I would love to learn about other countries, to listen to stories and about its history, and to cook!!!
