About Me

I really like to write, make music and think.

I can be very forgetful and I'm very unpredictable, I'm also adventurous.

Personality: I sometimes zone out of myself and when that happens I can't talk about anything, I can't start a conversation, I can't think of anything, my mind feels completely empty and the only way to get me out of it is to bring up a conversation subject so intriguing, my mind won't have any choice but to restart. Between that my mind won't shut up for days, sometimes I can't sleep. I can be funny, I can be a total extrovert but also be very shy and introverted as well.

Plans: Learn new things, take chances, become the best version of myself.

Goals/Dreams/Passion:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Iceland is pretty lit". That's what my californian/brazilian friend who recently moved here, said. I won't argue with the fact that Iceland is in deed a very interesting country with its enchanting Landscape, unique history and culture, not to mention our Capital small-town; Reykjavik. Yes, I said capital small-town (Its hardly to be considered a city). My entire life, I've lived in Iceland, a very protected environment. It's a small country with very few people in it, I've done/ seen most things exciting to me so frankly I'm bored. I am not only bored I actually feel very trapped, I mean it may sound like a cliché but well this is an island after all and although it has many things to offer I am one of those people who daydream, changes their mind every second and is full of useless opinions and ideas. What I crave most is a new environment, where my creativity can get creative on its on. I'm not unsatisfied with my life, I'm very thankful but I crave change like vampires crave blood. Basically, I want to widen my horizon, experience different cultures, friendships, come to know life and myself and just you know like get in touch with like my spirit or whatever. Yeah I know, it's a little bit cliché but its the truth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my weird philosophical thoughts that will probably make you think I'm crazy. I can teach you a thing or two about singing . I'd love to learn about your story and your culture or maybe a useful skill.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perhaps I could sing for you, tell you about the Icelandic Sagas, teach you a little bit in Icelandic (I'm a very good native speaker and I have excellent vocabulary and grammar). I can also cook some nice vegetarian/vegan food.
