I'm an idealistic 28 years old Brazilian guy that believes we can live in a better world, with less prejudice and more respect and equality! I'm seeking my life purpose, from the perspective that everyone should make a positive contribution in the world! Yes, I wish to live in the cliché of "world peace and happiness"! Maybe we will never arrive there (maybe it is necessary to always have an ideal to look for...), but in this long way, what's matter are the people with whom we share and the experiences we have!
Translating this into practice: I'm graduated in Public Administration, and I have worked in the government of my region for many years. However, I didn't like it and from experiences that I have had in the past years, I have realized that I need to work with and to the people, helping them in their development! So, in search of my happiness and my life purpose, I have left everything back, and I have just started new studies: in Psychology!! (and I love it <3) And yet, in another city in a different country: Lille, in France!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find people to share with and to have incredible experiences around the world!

Interests

I love traveling, knowing new places, understanding cultures, learning languages, meeting different people, trying new experiences and all about that! My energy is maximized when I'm travelling!! :D I'm a "flaneur"; I love to walk around the cities where I go, to see the people, the routine, the architecture, etc.
I also love eating, laughing, reading, listening music, going out, doing some physical activities like walking, swimming, gym and circus (aerial dance, trapeze), etc. I'm into cultural stuff too, I work in a cultural centre and I love to watch dance, theatre, concerts, cinema, and even beauty contests (a curious hobby I have :D)
And I'm passionate about people, educational and social issues. I would like to work for helping people and their development! Because of that, I'm studying Psychology!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have some great experiences that have changed my life: 2 exchanges (6 months in Rome, Italy, like Erasmus, and 6 weeks in Medellin, Colombia, working in a social project) and the (volunteer) work in AIESEC (I have been part of AIESEC for 3 years and a half, among wich I have been HR Director for a year, such an amazing experience!)! Others interesting experiences were the volunteering in World Cup 2014 and Olympics Games 2016. I also love backpacking; I have done some since last year (1 month in Northest Brazil, 2 weeks in Peru, 2 weeks in Chile/Bolívia, and now France)! Looking for more incredible experiences!! :)
