About Me

For many times I've been a solo traveller, and I like it a lot. Probably that is why I also prefer more cultural and exotic destinations, and avoid tourist areas. I want to learn how people think and live!

I believe, above all, in respect. When people respect each other almost all problems can be avoided. Helping each other is also a principle that goes through my mind.

Live your life like there is no tomorrow. But of course I take care of my healthy andam always careful!...My life is full of music (dj ), culture , I go to the gym everyday (when I’m home) good quality time hanging out with my friends and family. I love travelling to places i´ve never been before, make new friends. Always trying to know me a little better.

Being a solo traveler seems to be the best way to feel the life of a city and of the people learn about culture and understand how they think eat what they eat and live like a local.

I’m a friendly and sociable person, with lot's of sense of humour I think when I can !... trying to live life preserving values like honesty , freedom, responsibility , trust, friend of a friend, nature protection...health

I like more wandering around in a city than visiting all the renamed touristic areas. A good concert or even a play (if I can understand the language, and trust me I will try!) are also on my mind while travelling. I also like to study the history, .

How I face my goals:
If you want something in life, reach out and grab it!

A quote About my history:
Life give me just one lemon 🍋 and I make a limonadA

.. usually I am very emotionally expressive. I can sing and play but I don’t know how to dance. Not a typical Brazilian, if I can say so.

I am also from a Christian family, I used to play piano with my mother at the church at the church's choir, although not at all a conservative and closed mind person. I am very spiritual, but I think open-mindedness is the key, and I wish that one day spiritual, scientist, and religious people will be able to sit around a table and finally understand that they are all talking about the same thing.

I like countryside and sightseeing, gardening, music, reading, movies series and specially a hot chocolat and a pc of chocolate cake in the company of good friends.

While travelling I really like riding bus and walking and walking, around and around any city, something I rent a bike. As for trains I also prefer to use regional ones, instead of the TGVs, ICEs Thalys, etc ... usually i take bus! I've even crossed European borders several times using only BUS!!!! From Austria to Belgium and Netherlands to France, Poland to Germany...all by bus.
.

I think the world is much wider than we can imagine, and thus there are lots of interesting topics to talk about. But I love to change my opinion about things when I travel to learn a new culture and a new way of thinking! I love that! Evolution!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I’m Collecting moments not things! 🇦🇷 🇨🇳 🇧🇷 🇳🇱 🇩🇪 🇲🇰 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇬🇷 🇵🇱 🇦🇪 🇶🇦 🇪🇬 🇭🇷 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇧🇪 🇦🇹 🇳🇴

First I read about it in a website. Then I thought about it as a new experience worth trying. Then I was afraid that something bad could happened so a friend told me about his good experience with CS so I give it a try in Argentina and it’s was awesome!. I already made a lot of new friends!

Awesome experiences that CS can provide, which give you more trust in humanity

I met lots of simple people (usually they are the most clever ones), who do not brag, and who can communicate freely as well as "read" in others' behaviour. "Social intelligence" actually. :)

Interests

drawing, music, culture. Design

Taking care of oneself and others ( eating well, healthy lifestyle, ecological and humanitarian actions, or simply being nice),
I’m a calm and peaceful person, but I don't forget the humor along the way. This is essential ! A hot chocolate 🍫 , a friend and a nice landscape ... and I am happy!
I believe in a law of attraction that your mind and what you think can define what’s happening in your life,
spirituality (you need to take care of your mind not only your diet).... - I respect all religious ,who people are ....and what they believe in), I beleave in meditation, I’m here Not for tourism - but for sharing!

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m addicted in TV shows and Series!

My favorite: Braking bad and Game of thrones, but I also have watched to: once upon a time, the middle, two and a half man, how to get away with a murder,Bones, criminal minds, lost, smallvile, parking and recreation, supernatural, black mirror, better call Saul, Narcos, la Casa de papel, stranger things, the walking dad, touch, and Netflix (hahahah)!

And books. I probably read all of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Paulo coelho.

I also like short films. maybe because the messages are normally strong and they are not commercial. I also love cartoons and Pixar, Disney...

I’m a former Dj and producer so of course I like electronic music and I like Almost everything that’s well done! Electronic Dance Music, glitch hop ,)! from the '70s and '80s, also specially Beatles, Pink Floyd. Celtic and classic music are normally also in my wish list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life is crazy!

I’m living I china 🇨🇳 for the past 6 years being international representative for a company from Dubai UAE 🇦🇪 and 3 years ago I travel to egypt 🇪🇬 alone only because I want to see the pyramids by myself since I was 5 years old! 😅

I start college before finish school without my parents knowledge about it, only because I always know what I want and I go for it! I liked drawing and I consider myself a designer already with 15 years old 😂 so I get a lawyer to get a paper to start my graduation in industrial designer, that’s why I start working in chinese factories when I finish my master degree! Oh! And.. my free time? I was traveling Europe and South American being Dj! 🎧🎼🎹

Teach, Learn, Share

My goal here is learning! That’s why I’m here for!

But of course, I can teach you to speak mandarim so you can get around easily when travel to china!

I can teach you how to play piano and drawing!

can teach you lots of emotional control that I have being studying for myself! Having positively thinking for healing techniques, feel gratitude and o can spend hours talking about THE SECRET and techniques to visualization your goals , altered states of consciousness through meditation, mindfulness meditation, etc etc. Lots of stuff that involving the law of attraction!... so I’m sure I can offer you a lot of Positiveness!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Haven't been a host yet, I'm just starting by little. But certainly I can share myself and my points of view.

Meet new people is always good. So, here on couchsurfing I am expecting cultural exchanges and maybe even some friendship.

I’m designer so I love creating (I create music, I’m always drawing, paiting etc.) and have this inner urge that’s I always have a new idea about a new project and to never do things the way it is usually done. It's beyond my control I’m impulsive with new ideas!

When another person is kind enough to host me at his/her place, I spend my time tomshow I little about my Country my food and also to get more Experience from this person and I try to learn from other people (if I’m not annoying),,, Of course I would like to have you to show me around, but if you have something to work on don’t worry I’m also independent enough :)

Of course I always respect the rules of the house, that is normal to me. Your house, your rules.

I don't drink alcohol yet (indoor have the taste for it yet) but I have lots of fun when partying even without alcohol I can be very fun!

No smoker! No alcohol! Just a health style person! I prefer movies them party!
