I'm passionate for learning new things, meet new people and travel the world!

I love to create things to help people do things easily and optimally.

I created an extension to Google Chrome that removes distracting elements from Facebook and helps people to don't wast so much time there (in portuguese):

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I do believe in the power of connections and share. I think the opportunity to meet people from another places and their cultures is awesome and I really enjoy to listen and learn with these people.

Interests

I love travels, music, videos, japanese food, learn new things..

I like meditation, a good food, a deep talk about everything, a good fellowship.. I'm opened to new ideas and I kind of addicted in creating things and having ideas.

- PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Improve my language skills, lose 50 pounds, travel from europe to oceania and create something to help people connect with friends and make better decisions on buying things online (I could tell you more about it personally).

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen everything like rock, classical music, electronic..

But there is one band that influenced me a lot: The Beatles.
In the same level, the movie that totally changed my life is Toy Story from Pixar. I watched this film a lot of times and it completelly inspired me to learn about computer animation, drawing, arts.. and a lot of other things.

I love to read too! I'm passionate about the Sherlock Holmes stories, he is amazing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip with a friend to Peru/Bolivia/Chile was one of the most amazing things I did. We interact with a lot of people and lived experiences very important to my development as a person.

I really enjoyed parachute jump, and I can't wait to do this again!

Teach, Learn, Share

"It's not about time, it's about choices. How are you spending your choices?"

This is one phrase that inspired me a lot these days. We sometimes forget that our life and history is created every second, in every choices we made. So, remembering that our life is unique, that could end any time, and that all that will remain is the stories we lived, helps me try to live the most of the life offers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could tell about Brazil and all the things we have here. We could talk about arts, technology, psychology, business and a lot of other things because I love to learn new things and I'm very receptive to new ideas.
I could try to cook something (try is not exactly do it good.. haha), and I definetly could practice or teach some portuguese or spanish.
