About Me

I'd like to travel as much as I can. Just love it.
Talking about me ... hmm.. it's easy. I am a bit crazy and a bit normal. I think too much, I also talk too much, so I make friends easily. I read once that laughter is the shortest distance between two people. So, I like jokes, I like good humored people, I enjoy the life everytime I am free. I love music, musicians, gigs, concerts and everything related to it. I know a bit how to play the guitar :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I got it as a present and it's not polite to refuse a present. It is not always good, but we have to deal with it. Sometimes I think I am alive to help people... other times I think I am useless and I need to find a reason to live... but when I talk to more experienced people, I realize that I am not alone in this way of thought.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to meet people and have fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once, I went to Italy with a flatmate and a friend... we met two American girls over there and they were in those Eurotrips... me and my flatmate offered our couch for them, they were going to London and after to Dublin, where we used to live... It was fun, we showed them the pubs, the famous places... but most of the time they had to do it by their own because we were studying and working... but it was great!

Interests

Music. I love travelling. And every country or city I visit, I try the local food... I like meeting people and learning their languages...different expressions in all languages...

  • concerts
  • dining
  • recipes
  • pub crawls
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • guitar
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I am always opened to learn about music...any kind of it... I like rock, blues, jazz, bossa nova, Brazilian popular music, etc. I like when people show me new things about music.. bands, artists, songs, etc. I love movies but I wish I had more time to watch them more often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went abroad. This is an experience that I do not regret even though some of the times were not that good to me, but going to other countries, meeting other people, and living what I lived, changed my life completely. I've lived in Dublin for about 3 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to speak Portuguese.. .I can teach whatever I know... if the person is interested in... I love learning: languages, recipes, histories, cultures, habits, musical instruments, stories...anything.
