ABOUT ME

Between Nov 2018 and March 2023 I was living in Chile. Moved to Berlin end of March 2023.

I am really open for invitations, for knowing new people and for doing things with others, specially traveling, doing trekkings or tasting wines. I love to laugh, to discover new things, to learn, to read, to think, to have fun. Sometimes I think a lot before acting, but other times, when I know that it can be good for me, I also take risks.

PHILOSOPHY

"All I know is that I know nothing" (Socrates)
Life is always surprising us, what we thought yesterday is no longer what we think today.

"Who said something is good or bad?" (Taoism thought)

In between black and white there is a rainbow (said my therapist once)

As Machado de Assis said (Brazilian writer, in one of his greatest works, "Quincas Borba") what is negative for someone, is at the same time positive for others; relativism is an important value/approach for me.

Everything has more than one side. It is up to us to decide to look to the bright side of things/people and to thank instead of complain.

Optimists see half of a glass full while pessimists see it half empty. What's your attitude towards life? Do you think things just "happen to you" which escape your responsibility or do you create your reality consciously?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to the meetings in my city or in the cities I visit. I am always meeting new people, especially foreigners, since I have studied International Relations and have worked on a ship (cruise line).

I love to go to language exchanges as well.

Visit as many countries as possible.

• salsa dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Love to receive tips of good books, songs and movies.
I listen to many kinds of music. I also like to dance, specially bachata, salsa, zouk, samba de gafieira.
Concerning movies, I watch mostly thrillers, the ones with investigations, I prefer the ones that are not predictable.
Lately I've been reading more about spirituality and holistic therapies. Used to love criminal novels or books from authors like Dan Brown, for instance, since it's a thriller-type mixing religion, arts and some mistery. I also love Political Philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
