CURRENT MISSION

Just pursuing my dreams

ABOUT ME

I´m a guy very curious about the world, who wants to learn much many things and know all the beatiful places that exists...I love music, and like to play every kind of music with musicians from all over the world. I will like very much to host musicians. I´m also an amateur photographer. You can check my photos at: www.flickr.com/photos/renanyferreira
. And i have a regular mon-fri work.

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling is about people

Also, I try to be always ok and don´t get down with little things. I think that many times it´s our choice to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think that travelling is not just see beautiful diferent places, but to know for real the place where you are. Someone that lives where you are is who can show you the place for real, and also can share good moments, interesting things and a beautiful friendship.
That´s how I want to travel from now on, and I´m ready to do the same in my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Argentina, where I met very nice people who helped me a lot and shared good moments.
And in Floripa, where I hosted some good people and just met others.
And in Europe, where a lot of nice people hosted me and I could make good friends.

Interests

Music, I play guitars and percussion. I study brazilian tradicional rythms (maracatu, coco, ciranda, baião) and use to play samba and chorinho.
I love to play with friends, and sometimes just sit and enjoy.

Photography, which I study by myself, and register the places where I passed.

Biology, nature, animals, plants and every activity that put us in contact with the nature. And obviously I have my preocupations with the environment and what can we do and are doing for it (that´s why I´m still studying).

And I also like surfing, juggling, parties, meet diferent people, beer and other drinks, scuba diving and snorkelling, good food (and to cook), bycicling, treking, surfing...

And now, children! The future!

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking is a beutiful way to share too, and I like to cook. And to eat what people cooked.
