CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I want to see happening in the world.

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as a open-minded, authentic, liberal, ecologic, sarcastic, artistic, active and generous person.
I'm always always willing to get some new knowledge of any kind.
Here's a list of people I admire: Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Aung San Suu Kyi, Barack Obama, Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe...
Now, a list of persons I dislike: Kim Jong-Il, George Bush, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Stephen Harper, Hugo Chavez, Mouammar Khadafi, Don Cherry...

PHILOSOPHY

Here are some quotations that I like:
-« An eye for an eye only ends up making the world blind. » (Mahatma Gandhi)
-« Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor. » (Ginetta Sagan)
-« To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. » (Anatole France)
-« The great appear great because we are on our knees: Let us rise. » (James Larkin)
-«Time is always right to do what is right» (Martin Luther King)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I became a couchsurfer in Portugal during the month of july 2009. I've learned portuguese and I met wonderful people!
If you are looking for a couch, please send a personal message, which is not a copy-paste thing... Just tell me the favorite city you've visit, and I might find your request personal enough to host you :-)

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

For 1 year and a half, I've been a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders, UNICEF and Oxfam. This work could be either extraordinary or very depressing but at the end, you had the certitude that you've modestly contributed to improve the life of hundreds of persons in need.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

What I can teach:
French, english, spanish, guitar, international relations, economics, politics...
I also work part-time as an international economics relations teacher in college, and I don't mind to practice this job with others couchsurfers if they are interested by this topic!

What I'd like to learn:
Portuguese, national political issues, history, traveling stories...

I made a college degree in music (classical guitar) and social sciences, a bachelor degree in economics and politics and I'm now a master student in international relations.
