About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make new friends all over the world and exchange cultures. I've lived in many foreign countries and I can speak many languages, so Couchsurfing would be a great way to get to know new people and have the opportunity to show them my beautiful city,

ABOUT ME

I've had the chance to travel a lot all over the world and meet great people. I have been very lucky I can say, because I've always been very welcome and I've had the best time almost everywhere.
I believe Couchsurfing is an excellent way of meeting new people, even if you're not travelling, and exchanging cultures and experiences.
I would be happy to host people, no matter their nationality, gender or religion, as long as I believe we have things in common to enrich this experience and that I am available at the time a request comes.

PHILOSOPHY

- Live each second of your life with all the intensity you can. This very second will never be experienced again.
- Don't waste your time worrying about the future to much nor about things that have no solution. Whatever happens that cannot be solved, solved it is!
- There are no "ifs" in life. There are only "iss". So remember to live what IS and not what COULD be IF...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to host as many CS out there that are visiting my beautiful city, Porto Alegre, from June 2011 on. I've been doing a lot of travelling since last year, but now I am returning "home" and ready to not only host you CS's, but to take you around and show you the best Porto Alegre and its sorroundings has to offer. It really depends on how much time you have to spend there, but you will have a great time, that's for sure! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met many people this last year that told me many good things about Couchsurfing. I really loved the idea! I haven't hosted anyone yet, I am just getting started on it, but I've met people in my hometown that was being hosted by a Couchsurfer and I had the chance to take this friend sightseeing and enjoying his time during his stay here.

Interests

Salsa Dancing (specially Ruedas de Casino, Cuban tradition!), Zouk and I am always willing to learn moves in other dances too. Movies, TV series, reading, music (I don't really play anything well, but I can sing), computer, internet, partying, meeting new people, having fun, travelling, going out for a drink, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, in general. Very few bands/artists I don't quite like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All the countries I've had the chance to visit and all the wonderful people that I've met. I hope I have the chance to travel more and meet other friends to have great laughs.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is all about teaching and learning, every single day. I know that I will never to know everything, but I try to learn from people as much as I can. I also enjoy teaching and sharing my own experiences. I believe people have lots to learn from me and so I have to learn from them.
