CURRENT MISSION

Living and learning. Going for it.

ABOUT ME

I am a curious, idealistic person. I love to study about humanities in general and to live different experiences, visit new places, meet new people, specially if they come from different countries, states, or cities. I am creative, ecletic, very active (cultural and leisure activities specially). I don't like sports very much, but run in parks ocasionally and took many ballroom dance classes, enough to have fun dancing anywhere. I love, love, love to dance.
I am strongly opinionated. I like to discuss history, politics, economy, religion and all the subjects we are not supposed to discuss, specially with people who have different opinions than mine.
I also love spicy food, music, chocolate, taking pictures, traveling and reading.
I am stubborn, unorganized, and change my opinions frequently, because I think too much, about everything. I am disturbingly sincere. I despise drugs of any kind and I don't like smoking.

PHILOSOPHY

It changes frequently, LOL. But the values stay the same. Live your life for learning. Avoid complaining and work for changes in stead. Love, respect and enjoy people of any kind, in the end we're all in the same boat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people, better if it is during weekends, and I can also meet for a coffee!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met a few travelers visiting São Paulo and when I went to Chile I met a wonderful Chilean Couchsurfer, Miguel, who took me and my friend around Santiago and even cooked a tipical dinner. It was very special!
