Hakuna Matata! Travelling up do oct 2 in Colombia! I like cycling, know new places, meet new people and exchange culture. I talk about movies, music, photography and random stuff. Also i like to hear a lot, i'm very interested at people histories. Laught, take things with weightlessness and do some challenging stuff are important to me. That's a little bit of me. Also I know that Couchsurfing is not tinder. PHILOSOPHY Worry less, live with more quality. I believe that life is good. And doing the right efforts, can be better.

EN/Português CURRENT MISSION I love CS. I love the people that embrace the values of CS. Moved to a new apartment, a really small one. This is important, since I only have a sofa-bed available (1, maybe 2 ppl) and it is right in front of my own bed. I take CS very seriously, but of course this is a very intimate scenario. I'm respectfull, are you? hahaha I have kind of a "strong" set of values about CS and I'm quite bothered about how many people are using our community. This is NOT a hostel-searching-website. Now that you are scared, you can read the rest of my profile hahahahaha S2 ABOUT ME I´m a physics teacher, got a PhD in History and Philosophy of Science, I love education as an extremely and deep human connection, ex-vegetarian, kind of budhist, nerd, skater, fighter and a hole bunch of other weird stuff. I love to travel, but I´vent been traveling the last couple of years! But I´m getting back on the road and wish to continue my great adventures! I'm here to share, cook together, talk about culture, politics (YES!), philosophie, movies, dumb stuff, love lives, sex, drugs, shit people think is a tabu and anything else in a embracing manner. Life is diversity. Also I love to party, go out, show the city and get crazy in the most responsible ways you can imagine. Well, not that responsible... PHILOSOPHY Balance in everything. Just take this to all areas. Simple and really hard to do. ABOUT my apt I moved from my amazing house. where many CSers spent some of their time. But now I'm living in an apartment in Botafogo. GREAT location, but really small. Quite close to the subway station, next to Copacabana and close to Ipanema. BUT, as said before, the main concern is the proximity between both beds. Can't have it all, right? I'll do a test! If you read my profile, write at the end of your request the word Orangotango! Take care, have a great day and come enjoy Rio (and my island!). --------------------------- PORTUGUÊS -------------------------------------------------------------- PORTUGUÊS -------------------------------------------------------------- PORTUGUÊS -------------------------------------------------------------- PORTUGUÊS ----------------------------------- MISSÃO ATUAL Eu amo o CS. Eu amo as pessoas que adotam os valores do CS. Saí de uma casa onde recebia muita gente, para um apto muito pequeno. Isso é importante, pois agora só tenho um sofá cama disponível e que fica de frente para minha própria cama nesse novo apto-amendoim =P. Esse é um cenário bem intimista! Eu sou respeitoso e levo o CS muito a sério. E vc? Tenho uma espécie de conjunto "forte" de valores sobre CS e estou bastante preocupado com quantas pessoas estão usando nossa comunidade. Este NÃO é um site de busca de albergues. Agora que você está com medo, você pode ler o resto do meu perfil hahahahaha S2 SOBRE MIM Sou professor de física, com doutorado em História e Filosofia da Ciência, adoro a educação como uma conexão humana extremamente profunda. Sou ex-vegetariano, defendo a filosofia budista, sou em grande parte nerd, ando de skate, treino lutas e um monte de outras coisas estranhas. Adoro viajar, mas tenho viajado pouco nos últimos dois anos! Estou voltando à estrada e desejo continuar minhas grandes aventuras! Estou aqui para compartilhar, cozinhar juntos, conversar sobre cultura, política (SIM!), Filosofia, filmes, coisas estúpidas, vidas amorosas, sexo, drogas, merda que as pessoas pensam ser um tabu e qualquer outra coisa de uma maneira abrangente. A vida é diversidade. Também adoro festejar, sair, mostrar a cidade e enlouquecer das maneiras mais responsáveis ​​que você pode imaginar. Bem, talvez nem tanto responsaveis... =P FILOSOFIA Equilíbrio em tudo. Basta levar isso para todas as áreas. Simples e muito difícil de fazer. Sobre a minha casa Não estou morando mais na minha maravilhosa casa, recanto de dezenas de CSers. Agora estou morando em Botafogo, em um lugar muito bem localizado, mas pequeno. É próximo da estação de metrô, ao lado de Copacabana e próximo de Ipanema! Como disse acima, a questão é o tamanho e as camas serem próximas. Não dá para ser perfeito hahaha. Eu vou fazer um teste! Se você ler meu perfil, escreva no final do seu pedido a palavra Orangotango! Se cuida, tenha um ótimo dia e venha curtir o Rio (e minha ilha!)

I'M NOT ABLE TO HOST AT THIS MOMENT. My name is Joel, I'm originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am a former lawyer and now I am working as an independent translator in the legal area, providing services to law firms and companies. I also have a degree in Sociology (Brazilian Studies). I attended a a master's degree in Governance and Human Rights in Madrid, Spain. I have also lived in Berlin and Paris. I'm currently living between Porto, Portugal, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I'm able to host sometimes in either city. Just ask me. I love travelling, reading, cinema and Japanese culture.

I'm Alam, which means "Flag" in Arabic and it's my family name 🏳️ Throughout my life, I looked for awaking my spirit in everything around me, in every corner I visit, and with everyone I stumble upon. That's why I always look and want to attract people that can share this journey with me, to help each other go bold through challenges and have great life adventures, people that can mind-blow me, and add something to my soul and my life journey. On the other hand, I try to leave my footprint, an influential footprint on everyone I meet, because in the end we will remember this all and feel blessed with a fulfilled life journey. Sufism and Buddhism are my central teachings, I always learn more about them and discuss and share a passion with everyone I meet, especially if they are Sufis too. If you are passionate about this teaching, just send me a message! ________________________________________ Super Simple Rules 🤝 1- Keep the house clean and organized, it doesn't take much time but it leaves a good impression. 2- I am not your host, and you are not a guest, so treat yourself as if you are in your home, also respect it as your home. 3- you give and you receive, you host and you surf, Karma is not a b*tch 😄
