About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep learning forever

ABOUT ME

I'm always trying to develop and becoming a better person, with patience, tolerance and respect. I consider myself very balanced, I'm neither conservative nor liberal, and I'm always trying to find the equilibrium. I believe everyone is unique and special, as everyone's souls. Sometimes I can be curious, but the real thing is that I love to learn and to understand what is going on.

PHILOSOPHY

Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada
Teu exagera ou exclui.
Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és
No mínimo que fazes.
Assim em cada lago a lua toda
Brilha, porque alta vive.

(Fernando Pessoa)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had one amazing experience spending a weekend at a CSurfer's place. Since then I try to help who wants to visit my city, giving tips, and maybe offering my couch (if my mum agrees)
Everytime we have events around here (Blumenau and Balneário Camboriú) I try to participate and meet other CSurfers, make friends etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was surfing a couch in Quebec, where I met nice people and had a great dinner with my host's friends. Then, back to Brazil, I went to some meetings (Blumenau, Balneário Camboriú and São Paulo), and organized a hike to a mountain. I liked all experiences CS gave me and hope to keep enjoying it.

Contemplate the sound of the nature, the ocean, and feel God's power, there's nothing better.

Everyone has many things to share, and it comes as people meet and feel comfortable to express themselves.
