About Me

I am a calm person, friendly, and I love meeting new friends and new perspectives of life, always remembering that our mind changes every boundary and every culture discovery.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listener up there! what have you to confide to me?
Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,
Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had already four great experiences in CS, and I really believe in the site politics. I never received a guest in my home, but I would love to, and I am very thankful to people that received me or did my trip full of happiness in somehow...
Travel is my passion, and be in a couch surfing mean much more than save the hostel fee, is live the culture with a new friend, get great tips about the city and share a little bit about my country too..
But is very important have RESPONSIBILITY to use CS, because I already lose a lot of money and time to enjoy the trip because people don't have responsibility to use it. So, if u can't hoste simply say that, and if I can host you, I will not leave you lost in a unknown city...
Meet new people is a happiness to me, and I will love help if I can!

"A viagem não acaba nunca. Só os viajantes acabam. E mesmo estes podem prolongar-se em memória, em lembrança, em narrativa. Quando o visitante sentou na areia da praia e disse:
“Não há mais o que ver”, saiba que não era assim. O fim de uma viagem é apenas o começo de outra. É preciso ver o que não foi visto, ver outra vez o que se viu já, ver na primavera o que se vira no verão, ver de dia o que se viu de noite, com o sol onde primeiramente a chuva caía, ver a seara verde, o fruto maduro, a pedra que mudou de lugar, a sombra que aqui não estava. É preciso voltar aos passos que foram dados, para repetir e para traçar caminhos novos ao lado deles. É preciso recomeçar a viagem. Sempre."
