Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Visit as many countries/places as I can.
Talk with as many people from diferent cultures as I can.
Change my paradigms about the world that television shows.
ABOUT ME
I have no problems in relationships with others, I guess, and I like to make jokes of everything.
I try to be moving as much as possible. I think people can have a good view or the world if they travel so I am always looking for travel to see the world by myself. Till now I've been in more than 60 countries.
PHILOSOPHY
Accept people as they are, with their qualities and their defects.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've hosted many people when I was living in Dublin. I had a big house which gives me the chance to receive friends and also unknown people. Then, I traveled for several months just using CS. I've been in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia just doing CouchSurfing.... It was a different feeling traveling meeting people who really live in the city than meeting people in Hostel who wanna know the city for the first time as like me but I like hostel as well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started hosting a Brazilian and I had a great experience with her so I opened the home to many travelers after that. I hosted a couple of Germans, a boy and a girl from Norway and Austria. Also hosted a guy from HongKong, Two girls from Germany. Then my flatmates asked me to stop hosting strangers so I decided to try the other hand of CS and I started to travel.
Interests
I love spending time enjoying the simple things in life as a run at the park on a sunny day or having a dip in the sea/lake with friends.. Maybe Parachute jumping or relaxing in a hammock between trees in park. Walk with my dogs or making barbecue with friends drinking a cold beer and stay talking for hours. At CouchSurfing I am interested in meeting people, about their life, points of view about many world topics. I want to say that I live a bit in each city that I've been instead of say that i just have been there.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love Brazilian musics, of sure, and doesn't matter what kind of music it is.
I also like Rock Music, classic rock like Beatlhes, Rolling Stones, Guns, Mick Flannery...
I really enjoy a good book and I always bring with me a book to exchange in the hostels.
City of God for me is a great movie to watch and if after watch it you still interested to visit Brazil you have my respect.
