About Me

Hello :)

I'm a curious soul in this planet. I have studied Information Science and I've worked on the IT field for about two years, but I don't feel like this is my true calling. I have a natural urge to try new things, acquire new capabilities and while for some time I used to hold back that feeling, I now let it be and embrace with full expression the plasticity of my being. I think juggling opened up that freedom in my mind, it taught me that there is nothing wrong with being playful in life, quite the opposite!

For me, traveling is all about absorving new people and places with our senses and with our being. It's the single best way to learn and grow, by understanding new perspectives, listening to stories, observing the everyday interactions between all the paths that are sharing the same space and time.

When I travel, I feel I'm really trapped in the present moment and as such it presents me with a whole new gateway to discover myself. And this is why I'm here in this community: to understand better about others and about me in consequence. To put myself to the test, to destroy any barriers that are keeping me from being who I truly am.

Life really is a cycle with its summers and winters. I'm not always the most talkative, energetic and adventurous person in the world, everyone is imperfect. However, I always tend to stay positive and see good things amidst chaos. I keep working to bring more and more positive thinking and attitude to my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore meaningful connections with other beings.
To destroy barriers and learn more about others and myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most kinds of music.
Lately my mood has brought me to listen to folk, world music, reggae, classical music...

I love reading from literature to historical and psychology books. My favorites include Siddhartha from Hermann Hesse, a selection from Mia Couto, Huxley's Brave New World, Borges' Aleph, Kundera....

Teach, Learn, Share

There are countless lessons one takes from the simple coexistence with other beings. I think we always take something from every situation and that every single person in life adds something to our being.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share my honest being and thoughts with you, some food, drinks and good vibes! Also I can share my juggling, teach you how to speak some portuguese words... the opportunities for sharing are limitless :)
