About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want this world to be a fun place to live in

ABOUT ME

I'm not really suited to routine. According to my mother (she is a physician) I'm the prototype of the untreated hyperactive adult. Since I'm unable to work on regular hours in a regular job, the way I found to solve the issue of making some money to pay the bills was sticking to school. You know, first you're an undergrad, then you graduate, then you eventually get a studentship somewhere and you can use your time to study whatever you want, which is the best part of the deal. I chose to study undocumented indigenous languages. That way I combine two of my passions: learning language and traveling. I'm also very passionate about music, both listening to and playing music. Few times have I done it professionally, though, but I like to think I prefer to keep it that way.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for these brief and important moments when things just feel right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through couchsurfing one can get some of the best traveling experiences. Not only going somewhere, but actually making new friends in new places, or traveling to new places by hosting people from there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first CSers I met were back home in Brazil. After that I joined the website and through the system I've been able to meet people to travel with and crash at.
