About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know the world with my own eyes...

ABOUT ME

I am an extremely laid back guy who enjoys people, new places and experiences. =] !
I don't really remember the last time I got stressed and I'd like to keep it this way!!
I like talking to people and getting to know what deeply engages them because it's when they really speak their hearts!! And it's also when you really learn about new subjects!

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity.
I like the idea of total independence, freedom from labels and dated rules.
Be happy, as long as your happiness does not interfere with other people's happiness
Why make it complicated?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Here you can find some good descriptions!

I like to interact with people and see their town/country through their eyes. If possible I enjoy learning and teaching something, hopefully making long last impressions.

You can find out a lot by visiting a country's important sites, but you will discover the real treasures and stories by meeting with the locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed and I've hosted! =] !

Interests

Food in general!! Usually if I go to a new restaurant I will try the weirdest thing on the menu!! =] !! Also like reading and talking about trips/travelling and contemplating good art, any art, and its small details.
I enjoy doing Origami but I am far, far from an expert!!

I think leaving Brazil to live in the UK was a major step in my life, but it was only the first one...

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn about lives and experiences!! Get to know the secret spot of places, the secret of some skills and the small details ... !!
