*****MY APOLOGIES, BUT I CAN ONLY ACCEPT GUESTS AFTER FEBRUARY 11th*****

I love traveling, meeting new cultures and talking with people. I would describe myself as an easy going person, open-mind, trustworthy, a good listener and enjoy having funny conversations.

I spent a lot of my life time devoting myself entirely to studies. I believed that knowledge was the most important thing and that no one could take from our lives. Of course I was totally wrong, because knowledge is the first thing that we should give the people who we meet and the experience of the knowledge of living the world outside the books and the computer is what adds us values (friends, joys, humility, gratitude, ...).
Then, nowadays my philosophy is: "Don't let life go unnoticed by you, do not be afraid to live the best of life!"

Other important thing, I am Catholic, vegetarian and I love to play chess. And yes, I totaly respect who has other religion or has no relation with God, who eats meat and who wins me in chess. Because life is this: to respect, to share what is ours and to love the world as the world is!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many reasons, such as:
- to know people who come from different places;
- to learn different cultures;
- to share information as countries which I've been, cultures that I know, ...

I'm very interested in presenting my city to people from all over the world. Thus, I will show Rio de Janeiro in other point of view for my guest.

I'm big fun of The Beatles, System of a Down, Shakira, Queens, almost every Brazilian bands and singers and some new bands. Actually, it's hard for me not to like any music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent a semester in Austria, Vienna. During that time I was able to meet people from many countries and share life experiences. It is the best thing I have ever done, because I could also visit many countries around the Europe and get experiences about all kind of things. I got lost in England, cycled in Netherlands, climbed mountains in Austria, went in Oktoberfest, and sereval other things. And I learned that overcoming fears is one of the best emotions that the world can offer.
