About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My dreams are made of this: travel the world and the seven seas ;)

ABOUT ME

Somebody say about me that I am "a good kid" friendly and polite.
I think it's true, although I have a "dark side". ahahahah
I love meeting new people and I'm always looking for new experiences.
I don't like the routine and sometimes live with the head in the clouds.
It happened that I "disappear" for long periods but I'm always present in times of need.

PHILOSOPHY

It's Simple:
Respect me and you will be respected.
I'm generous, but don't take advantage of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I don't have much time to spend for the cs for cause of my work, so I am not never been able to participate actively.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All started in Fortaleza, Brazil, where I was hosted for the first time.
The experience was great and for this I decided to plan my futures trips looking for new friends in the CS.
It was during a CS's party on the beach in Recife that I met one of the most important person of my life, who was also my first official guest.
We moved together in Turin where we started our Cs experience together hosting two girls, one Japanese and one Italian.

Interests

I'm very curious and I have many interests, I like to know a bit 'of everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer action movies and japanese anime, I like Tarantino's movies. My best movies are "300" and "Rocky" (III and IV) but I also watch films like "The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain"
I listening all the music from Iron Maiden to Bach, passing from Pop, Rock, House, Trance ecc...
Talking about books, I prefer to read about travels, adventures but also novels with love stories (I'm also sensitive and romantic).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My last experience was traveled on foot, only with a little backpack and in about 5 weeks approximately 900 kilometers of the St. James's Trail from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela through Pamplona during the legendary Festival of San Firmin.
I have also visited the Great Pyramid and I lay down in the sarcophagus of Cheops, climbed on top of the two volcanos the Vesuvius and the Etna, spent 3 days and 3 nights sailing on the Amazon River, sleeping in a hammock, participated in the Carnival of Olinda, one of the most beautiful in the world ...and many other things.
I hope to become a grandfather full of stories for my grandchildren.

Teach, Learn, Share

As you may have guessed I'm interested in a bit of everything.
I understand something of architectural, mechanical, natural medicine, cooking, agriculture, softwere and other things.
I would like to enrich my knowledge and discover new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe a place to sleep and for sure some advice.
