About Me

Animal lover, vegetarian (but opt for vegan whenever available), love music, love going to gigs and having a good time with my friends, strong sense of ethics, I get really pissed off when seeing injustices, love travel, love honesty, I'm maybe a bit too blunt 'cause of that

I have a dog, Eco-Terrorist, a rescued mutt, he's obviously the best dog in the world :D He's about 9 years old, medium size, amazingly good looking, loves to cuddle, like, reaaaally loves to cuddle and to get petted, he's intelligent, can do a few tricks, and he's really funny. Haven't met a person yet that didn't love him! And, I guess it goes without saying, but he's everything to me, along with my two cats (Michonne and Crook) :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the concept of CS 'cause it allows everyone (not just high class) to travel the world by providing free shelter and local guidance. It restores a bit people's faith in humanity, showing that you can be kind to each other and bond with strangers who can become friends if you just allow it

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Growing up I was a die-hard fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but then I discovered punk and that's what I listen the most nowadays. I'd say my fav bands now are Sin Dios and Black Flag. Also love hardcore, crust, d-beat, ska, rock, rock'n'roll and some hip hop, blues, folk, reggae and dub.

Movies: Everything is illuminated; I am Sam; Houndog; The Shawshank redemption; Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind; life is beautiful; Stay...

Books: Alice in wonderland; Capitães da Areia; The amazing maurice and his educated rodents; Railroad man; Harry Potter; I am legend; Of mice and man; the grapes of wrath; the pearl; a place called freedom

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered with animal rescue organizations, so I know I made a different on the lives of many animals, and I guess that's probably what I'm most proud about myself
