About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...finding the way...

ABOUT ME

I could try to describe myself in a few words but I'm going to try another approach. In the moment you are drawing yourself with words, turned into somewhat psychological concepts, you are limitating yourself. But worst than that is the lack of truth in the description. We are dinamic individuals and we are changing all the time, including through just one day. Therefore, I´m going to tell you what I think that make more sense to this situation of life...
I'm sure that I will give my best as a coushsurfer to make our encounter the most fruitful posible. I will try that in the end of the encounter both of us have something more than before. That I can garantee, and I hope that will be enough to achivie an open mind, heart and soul from that side. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

We can talk about that. But just to let you with a clue, in the case you are a very curious person...Zorba, the Buda!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met couchsurfing while I was travelling around South America. I surfed on a lot of couches with a lot of different experiences. Some of theme positive and others not so positive (at first sight) but I always learn something valuable. When I came back to Portugal I spend some time with a couple of surfers. Now I'm living in Barcelona and sometimes I join the language exchange meetings.
I never paid too much attention to the references, because I think, this is all about trusting each other. However, some people had negative experiences and regarding that I should write more references.
So, this is more or less the way I participate in this interesting social network.
P.S.: If you wonder why I don't have any references from others, read, please, my couch information.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had wonderful experiences with couchsurfing while I was traveling around South America a few years ago!

Interests

I try to learn the maximum I can from the environment that I am involved with, at any given moment. But very often I fell a strong interest for the things that are not measurable, yet. Such as: how the people relat to each other (psychology), feelings in extreme situations (radical sports), and so on.

  • traveling
  • drawing
  • skydiving
  • sports
  • psychology
  • language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the movies that allow me to cry, laugh, fell love, anger, peace, etc.
My taste on music are more ecletic. I can hear Chopin, but also Gui Boratto or sometimes The XX, The Doors or even Sigur Rós and RadioHead too.
Impossible to elect one of the good books I read over another. Siddhartha from Hermann Hess, 1984 from George Orwell or Caim from José Saramago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot and I have seen a lot too, but is still far from enough...Bus accident in Cusco, expirience the silence of Salar de Uyuni, sleeping on the street in one of the most dangerous city in Venezuela, skydiving, scubadiving, busted with weed in Colombia, make love in a disco's bathroom with a lovely equatorian lady and more, and more!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you every thing I now. I don't believe in intelectual property. And I think I knows a lot about a lot of things. Starting on health, passing by sports and maybe finishing in philosophy.
I have so much to teach me you would not believe!
I will share my time with you, that is the most valuable thing, somebody can have.
