Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION : Save the world between doing daily life routines, enjoy Art and Culture, and leave the stage making someone get emotioned with my Life (and find out why so many people take pics jumping)
ABOUT ME
Few things about me: I think personal descriptions are self misunderstood theories, you should ask my friends if the next subjects are true cause sometimes i think they aren´t... Well...I love arts, I adore travelling, I like the beautiness of comon day things, human things. Tenderness of the world and at the same time it's roughness. I love acting: i love to play and imagine new words, new solutions, new freedoms. Theater gives me this: beeing like the first time in this world just to try it, like a kid, an happy kid. Maybe a grown up kid, but comitted to the hard task of growing up and be responsable, gettting old but happy and with money to travell and find you. Love bohemian life and parties and meeting new people, but at the same time i can't miss morning silences, great books and solitudine. My favourite word is "saudade". My favourite place, Lisbon. Before getting dark.
PHILOSOPHY
Ubuntu "i am because you are". and the best "philosopher" in the world, the portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Exchange my life, exchanging yours. One world comunity without the profits to the cold hotel owners. (By the way, to get this more about the inside and less about the shallow, I prefer to host people who read profiles, so if you are going to write me, please begin the request with '' pum pum pum or tan tan tan, whatever resembles the 3 blows of Molière when a play is about to start. .hehehe.) So I was saying, don't like hotels, the real deal is a local couch and stories of particular cultures and humankindness.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Poland, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, United States, Serbia, Romania and hosting in Portugal. The most intensive and positive experience i have already had after 10 months living the Erasmus Life in Italy.
Interests
I'm interested about finding out why people take pictures jumping. And the sense of Life and Death when i'm in between those inner thoughts about the jumps.

Music, Movies, and Books
Fernando Pessoa, António Lobo Antunes, Jorge Amado, Douglas Coupland and Camus books. And some hundreds of masterpieces i dont have time to mention.All genres of music have good stuff. But since my youth was in the 90's i'm influenced by Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. Since i'm portuguese and from Lisbon i'm influenced by Fado. Since my parents always love brazilian MPB i'm influenced by Chico Buarque. So there is a hybrid mix about all this.Cine Paradiso and Six Feet Under from a list of 200 movies and series.
