About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to take over the whole world! In order to do that, I'm first learning all languages I can by living in different countries. (UPDATE 2017: Currently back to Brazil, working for a big tech company, in love with cognitive computing and finally seeing quantum computing comes to life).

ABOUT ME

Curious, funny, intelligent, always up for a laugh and a walk, love picking up chestnuts (in London), walking by the river, watching the Eiffel Tower lights at midnight, historical buildings/places, castles, and of course, travelling.

You can add to the list: patient, easy going. Given the space and time I can be miss chatterbox or as quiet and discreet as a mouse.

Optimist, lucky, a stronger believe of the universe's magic.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you want them do unto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been surfing couches, been to Couchsurfing events, quizzes picnics, etc etc

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

(this text is confusing) Well, I first heard of CouchSurfing through friends after having stayed with them and meeting someone they hosted just before me. Then recently I met and learned that a group of french friends have been doing a lot for the cause in Paris.

Two friends one from Brazil other from Strasbourg have recently tested my couch so that to make sure it's a good offer, they have no complaints, I can tell you.

From my personal experience, there was the brazilian couchsurfers experience, great, also one night on the couch of the brazilian friend that stayed with me, a sharing sofa bed one day long ago and a recently sharing, so yeah, I'm quite easy really.

PS. ohh my! how could I have forgotten my londoner experience! now that I no longer live there, every now and then I use my friends aero mattress.(/end of the confusing text)

I've only had good, great actually, experiences with Couchsurfing. In London, NY or Paris. I recommended it to friends and helped them out here, they also had great experiences hosting or being hosted and at couchsurfing events.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been on the road from 2005 to 2014 with a 9 months break back to my country so, yes, everything has been pretty amazing :D

I'm about to do an above the top amazing thing, let's see if I'll make it and you can be part of it by helping me in Las Vegas and San Francisco (Palo Alto and co.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll think about it, tell you later. One think I can teach is how to cook brigadeiro, hmm yummy. (years later, here is the update - 2017: I can teach you about cognitive computing, Watson, etc. I can teach you about hidden places in different countries worth of a visit. I can share my optimism).

Learning is my best hobby so, be my guest to teach me new things.
