CURRENT MISSION Finding a way to make the world a little better place. I'm looking for a job that serves this goal and makes me feel satisfied and happy. I would like to do this through working with a global health project (providing vaccines and medicines to developing countries) or helping out as a veterinarian in those countries. Or by doing something else that I haven't figured out! I'm still looking for which way to go. ABOUT ME I am a friendly and warm person who is interested in meeting open minded people on my way. I have a lot of interests and I have a very impulsive and discovering character. I tend to hop on a train of thought, go with it, think it through a while, start something new because of it - a hobby, a job, a habit - indulge in it and love it, and through the process nuance and discover what could be better. I've been hopping on and off a lot of those trains lately, so I felt like a needed a good station to think for a while and quit my job. Now, I'm reading a lot about a lot of different stuff - analytical and political philosophy, ethics, global issues, ... while looking for a temporary way to make a living. All these characteristics make me a bit restless and I'm definitely an unpredictable person, but at the same time, I don't necessarily come across as a chaotic lunatic in everyday life. I usually have a cheerful vibe and my energy level can range from stoically calm to through-the-roof hyperkinetic. Sometimes it is a bit difficult for me to open up personally, but when a conversation clicks into place, it can evolve to an interesting, funny, and sometimes even absurd event!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing
I think Couchsurfing is a great way to connect to people as well as a great accomodation concept. I think it's a powerful tool for travellers in a world where most things come at a cost. As soon as I have a place of my own I want to start hosting people myself.
Música, Filmes e Livros
Folk, Indie, Jazz, chill electronic music, psychedelic rock, piano, acoustic guitar, anything that suits my vibe. I'm almost sure we can find musical common ground!
Uma Coisa Incrível Que Já Fiz
My nicest experiences are the ones when I having a strong sense of autonomy and freedom. That's why I absolutely loved hiking and travelling around Scandinavia for 2 months without fixed time frame.
