I tend to tell people that We are what We share. If is that so, this mean that I am a little bit of what you think that I am plus what I also think I am. Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing but I usually find quite difficult to talk about who I am without taking in consideration the message people interpret about myself. By that I mean all individuals have an impact on 'defining' who I am, so probably you know better about me than I do myself.

However, I can share some of my likes and dislikes, experiences, believes and desires that I consider mine but when I share that with you, it will probably not belong only to me, unless you refuse to pay attention on it or discard as yours. To summary, for sure I am called Gaio de Lima who have been born in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro who loves music, nature and life. Despite its simplicity, black and white are meaningful colours to me, principally if you taking in consideration the complexity of people's interpretation of them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is more than a platform for people save money when travelling to me. I think this is a powerful source allowing all of us to shape the new global culture of human intereaction and I want to contribute with that. Here we are allowed to enter at all houses of the world but without knocking the door.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I went to Mali to research about the Kamalengoni a West African Harp in Mali, which is an instrument originated from the Donsongoni. Going to Mali was a fantastic experience to me and it has helped to shape my views about the world and personal life remarkably. I did learn how to speak the local language called Bambara and how to play Kamalengoni, which you can see on my profile picture. It was absolute fantastic!!!

However, the most amazing thing I have done there was to build truly friends that I will adore and praise for the rest of my life. They made me part of their community and called me family. I believe when humans who are strangers to each other call themselves family, this is certainly one of the most amazing things someone can ever do.

Teach, Learn, Share

If there is a way how and time to I would be more than happy to teach you whatever I know about. On this process we both learn as each individual have their own way of acquiring and transmitting knowledge. Share is inevitable, we do that 24/7 and we are doing this right now while you are reading these words. The question here is about the choice of what will be shared and this depends entirely about the opportunity of us together decide.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home, my friends, my experiences on life, my music and my crazy sense of humor and my morning sandwich made of peanut butter with banana ( they are delicious).
