CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm just one guy that tries to be open to whatever life may bring me. I wanna more live like "Seize the day" every single day.

Meeting new people has always been an amazing experience for me, and I try to live, share, learn and have fun the most can with every new person I met.

I'm kinda nerd about EVERYTHING, and have an uncontained passion for foreign languages and cultures, so I do appreciate sitting at a table with new people and chat about our lives and realize how amazingly big & small, happy & sad, beautiful & disgusting the world can be, as well as how diverse & how similar people are.

PHILOSOPHY

-Nosce it ipsum,
-Enjoy the chaos,
-Dare to love,
-Let it hurt,
-Take responsibility.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've joined CS by May 2008, when a friend invited me to join a party of the brazilian CS National Meeting.Ever since, I've been hanging out with the CS community in Belo Horizonte, getting to know great people and making new friends. That has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, without leaving my own city, and it's one of the thing that I'm most grateful about CS. As far as can remember, I've with people from Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Poland, Austria, Finland, Algerie, India, USA, Australia, Japan, SKorea, Russia and even Kazakhistan!

In 2012, I finally got a ticket for my first international trip, as I was getting done with college. Travelling around in the USA, I had the great pleasure of being hosted by great people in Texas (S. Antonio, Austin & Houston), Louisiana (New Orleans) and NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got bunches of meetings, parties and friendship CouchSurfing experiences from my hometown in Brazil, Belo Horizonte.

So many people, so much time and so many things that, for helping to build my very self, are hard to describe properly.

音乐、电影和书籍

ON MUSIC

What can I say? I LOVE music so much aI can barely imagine my life without it. I have a soundtrack constantly playin' on my mind and always have special song to remind me remarkable moments and as therapy for the tough ones.

I also tend to appreciate a song firstly for its lyrics, then its melody, then its beat, then its fun. It's not like I appreciate less songs that are meant just for fun, but only that I know that will be part of my life for a shorter period of time.

As for genres, I enjoy most kinds of it, although I got a greater taste for alternative/indie rock, jazz, brazilian samba and others folkloric rhythms from Brazil like maracatu, frevo, manguebeat, sambarock, etc.

If you're a music addicted too, you can add on last.fm here:

ON BOOKS:

(BTW, you can also take a quick peek on my book preferences here: www.goodreads.com/vitormmacedo
or if you can read portuguese, here: www.skoob.com.br/perfil/vitormmacedo)

The Bible and The Principia Discordia would tell a lot about myself. If you ever read one of those, please let me know!

I do enjoy some non-fiction books involving History, Culture & Economics, but when it comes to sheer entertainment, I`d go mostly with Science Fiction/Fantasy genres and stories that makes you wonder about the meaning of Life, Love, the Universe and everything else.

That said, I`d list as my funniest books so faR:
-Lord of the Rings (Tolkien),
-the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy (D. Adams)
-Game of Thrones - Chronicles of Ice And Fire (G. Martin)
-Animal Farm, (Orwell)
-O Brave new World, (Huxley)
-On The Road (Kerouac)
-Steppenwolf (Hesse)
-The man and the Sea (Hemingway)
-The Razor`s Edge (Maughan)
