Hello! =)

My name is Yeltsin. I am not russian (my parents really liked the Yeltsin name and... I was born). I currently live in Recife, Brazil, preparing myself to be a "nomad" to live in others countries (specially Latin American countries, like Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Panamá).

Oh, yes, I lived for four months in Los Angeles (actually it was Culver City) and I loved it! Santa Monica is forever in my heart. And the people of Los Angeles are so good (I kind had a relationship there...).

Nice to meet you too,
Yeltsin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never had an experience with Couchsurfing, but there is always the first time! I'll travelling around South America in 2015. The first place I am going is Fortaleza. Then I want to visit some other countries and places.

I hope in 2015, I can buy my own apartment (or rent), so I can host people there! Recife isn't a popular place (except for the Carnival) but we have a lot of cool things here (like me. Ok, I'm kidding).

Interests

Music, culture, food. Love to listen to regional artists, to learn more about cultures and to eat, because I'm fat and I eat a lot (kidding, I don't eat a lot. But I'm fat).

• culture
• dining
• cooking
• meditation
• traveling
• painting
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to anything, read anything and watch almost anything (I don't like horror movies, easily scared here).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A solar eclipse. I know, right! No big deal. But I want to see the Aurora Borealis in Iceland...

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach? I can teach about website development, I can teach about overcoming our fears (I've anxiety and depression, but I learned how to control it via meditation), I can teach a little bit about life and happiness or maybe, I can teach about growing up at the closet, being "outed" (I didn't tell, my family discovered and boy... it was not good) and dealing with this.

What I can learn? Anything. Yep, I love to learn new things. To expand my brain capacity. To one day cook, while teaching some people about web development and painting the house (oookay, I'll be probably cooking the paint, teaching people about cook and cooking the house).

What I can share? My mind and myself. Two things that people doesn't usually share. They can share experience, but they will not share the pleasure to learn. For me, anyone I meet at CS is my friend. Can be more. Heyyy, I'm not adept to that sex...couching. I more to friendcouch :)
