About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make many friends on this fair planet Earth

ABOUT ME

Like in Billy Joel's beautiful song "Just The Way You Are", I don't want clever conversation, I don't want to work that hard; I just want someone that I can talk to. That's it! I love meeting and talking to people, unpretentious.The subjects? Anything beyond your wildest imagination, including astronomy , animals, science, philosophy, movies, music...

PHILOSOPHY

Never judge anyone, as each person is the sole responsible for his/her choices. However, if you wish to express your opinion about someone, remember that every event has three versions: yours, his/hers, and reality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to meet people for conversation in English. Do you think this is no big deal? Everything begins with a conversation...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far

Interests

Conversation in English about any kind of subject. Movies, reading, meeting people and, especially, listening to them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:Gravity is just fantastic. I also enjoyed Another Earth and very many others.
Music: Oh, God!, there are so many I can't even decide which ones to mention.
Books: This is a shame, but I have a many books I bought and haven't read since 2010. Like a book store owner said once, "One thing is buying books, and a very different one is reading them!" He's damn right!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I have never seen a flying saucer or flown wearing a wingsuit, nor did I practice wingwalking, or other hair-raising activities, but I did appreciate going to the beach a few times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach and learn English, either British or American, and perhaps find a partner to write a book, which could be a novel. Also, I can teach or give hints about Brazilian Portuguese to help English-speaking foreigners. Learn and share knowledge on astronomy and astrophysics.

What I Can Share with Hosts

At the moment, I can't lodge any hosts.
