About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Is it really necessary, one mission? It demands beginnings and endings. I'm not sure that it exists!

ABOUT ME

I study Latin American Studies with focus in History. My studies had the advantage of taking me to many places, and learning spanish by myself. I've lived in places with a hot summer of 45C for almost 6 months(a State in the Heart of Brazil), and also places with -10C for the Winter(Berlin). And also collecting one of my favorte things: songs. Always with a notebook, wrtiting down the songs names, hoping for Mr Google to help me to find it further . And also friendships and memories. We are our memories. That seems quite a cliché, but its also a philosophical statement hard to eschew.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experience in Couchsurfing isnt the biggest, although the best. Saving some bucks its nice, of course, but knowing people and making friends, discovering the real soul of the places, thats priceless!

Interests

History and Culture! Any piece of clay, any stone left behind or marks on a tree can drive my interest. (that can be a little irritating for the others!)

Music and Languages: I just love different songs and new rythms. From very folk songs, to house-electro, which I'm not that familiar, but those can also move a soul, right?

Cousine! I love to cook, and to eat (heheh). Simple dishes, best dishes! One of my favortie brazilian dishes (from my dear south) is made of jerked beef and rice, cooked in an iron pan! El famoso Carretero.. And thats it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Waterfalls in the brazilian central region (Goias, Mato Grosso)/ The saara desert in Morocco/ The ancient city of Rome/The spring in Berlin and the rebirth of all Linden trees among the concrete/ The crazy traffic in Lima and the smile of those gentle people/

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some portuguese and spanish! Also some traditional (which means simple but delicious) brazilian receipts!

And learn... everything that I can! Languages, cousine, more about you and your culture!
