Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"Carpe Momentum"
ABOUT ME
I like to walk forward. Could be amazed by simple things and have no reaction to very complex ones. The most captivating thing to me is originality, which in these times, is awfully hard to find. I try to be true to myself and others. There is no room in this world for more lies.
PHILOSOPHY
A lot is excess, too little is lack. Balance is the perfect amount.
I think that what goes around comes around, in other words, Karma exists.
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion." - Abraham Lincoln
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I attend to most meetings and gatherings in Boston. I've had great experiences both surfing/hosting and I'm looking forward to keep meeting new people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had mostly good experiences with couchsurfing, but I have a rule to not host people with no references and/or an empty profile(If you never surfed/hosted you can ask a friend who has to write you a reference. Would you host a couchsurfer whose profile only has a picture and a name?).
Different people, very interesting. "Variety is the spice of life"

Teach, Learn, Share
I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish fluently. I play acoustic guitar well enough to teach you how to play a song. I am very good with technology, meaning that I can fix your computer. I can teach you a couple of climbing knots. If the weather is nice, one of my favorite things is to make Brazilian BBQ...you will never forget.
I'm learning, French, chess, Russian, Italian, Saxophone and drums. Any help is much appreciated!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Life experience, positive attitude, a smile and the Wi-Fi password ;-)
