About Me

I hate these "About Me" topics, it feels awkward to write about myself..
And I bet you feel the same!

I'm 27 years old. Brazilian. Engineer.
I was born in a small town called Ubá, Minas Gerais but I've been living in Belo Horizonte for the last 10 years.

I don't know what else to write about me... Just ask me what you wanna know and I'll be more than happy to answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard so many good experiences from people who have couchsurfed or opened their homes to hosted someone, that I wish to experience the same.
In Brazil, couchsurfing it's not as common as it is elsewhere, at least not among my friends. But ever since I've lived in Germany and came back to Brazil, I've decided to try this.
I'm on Couchsurfing because I would like to meet people, share ideas and experiences... Feel free to contact me!

Interests

Well, I like to read, drink coffee and eat chocolate (call me crazy, but sometimes I drink coffee and eat chocolate ate the same time).
So, if you're reading my profile and you like one of those things, we already have something in common!
I'm also interested in technology, yoga, running and dogs (l love dogs! If you don't like pets, I don't think we are going to get along.. Seriously!)

Music, Movies, and Books

Hum.. I think my favorite movie is probably 'Batman, The Dark Knight', I have watched this movie I don't know how many times and for me, it never gets old. But I love movies in general, nothing relaxes me more than eating popcorn, funk food, and watching a good movie!
About music, like most everybody, I'm very eclectic and my choices regarding what to listen are normally made depending of my mood, I believe music and mood are in sync. But to name a few of my favorite artists: John Mayer, Adele, Lana Del Rey, The Cranberries, Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran and the list goes on and on.
Last but not least, books... I left this one for last on purpose, because books are probably the thing I am most passionate about, reading a book it's a wonderful and indescribable experience. So if you wanna know which are my favorite books, you should probably ask me this in person and wait for a very long answer...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done..
One amazing thing I've done..
One amazing thing I've done..

God!! I feel terrible right now...

I can't name something amazing I've done worth telling.. Like saved the world, fought against global warming, rescued a kid in distress, helped Green Peace with their cause.

But, I consider myself a good person who tries to make a difference in people's life. At least the ones closer to me.
I treat everyone with respect.
I love family, they are my rock and I always try to be there for them.
My friends are also my family, they are the family I've had the chance to choose and I'm very fortuned to have them. That's why it's important to me to help and support them.
My advise? Show the world true concern, love as deeply as you can, express everyday how much you care for those around you and smile, smile a lot, in every opportunity you have.

That's how I like to live my life, to its the fullest, with love, respect and happiness.
So, I believe that's the one amazing thing I've done so far.
