About Me

CURRENT MISSION

love love love!

ABOUT ME

Bah, this is so difficult do answer.. Im 22 years old, a law student and an only child. That probably explains that im really close to my parents. Even though i live in Florianópolis, my best friends are in São Paulo, where i was born and where i grew up. I love travelling and thanks to my parents i´ve already travelled a lot.. When i was 15/16 years old i went to Vancouver to do an exchange program during high school, for six months... It was one of the biggest experiences of my life. After i graduate i went to Uruguai to spend 2 months learning spanish and i felt in love with Montevideo...

When i was 19 i went to Israel and to some capitals in Europe by myself, and that was another huge thing in my life. Of course the trip could have been bether if i knew CS... Since i went alone and didnt know anyone, i didnt go out a lot at night... Well, my chance is comming now: In september im going to Florence to study law for a year at university!

PHILOSOPHY

I live for my life. Everything that i have the possibility of doing i go for it. The huge exemple is my next trip. Its an oportunity that doesnt appear two times. Things now are hard, i dont have lot of money, bu i think its the time of my life.
I live for my parents and for my friends too. I do everything i can for them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im a baby in CS.. But i really like the "exchange" idea that CS brings to us.. The whole concept of aproximating people, which is mostly the oposite of the time we are living, really interests me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no experience yet, but soon enough i will fill up this space!

Interests

I like music, movies, art and everything connected to criativity and imagination. Even though i study law, one of my objectives in life is to construct a new concept of law. At least in Brasil, the "justice" doesnt work at all.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock, blues, jazz, mpb (popular brasilian music), samba (...). Los hermanos is a brazilian band that i felt in love with, and theres Belchior, Tom Jobim, Willy Nelson and Johnny Cash, Beatles of course, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Lilly Allen, Beirut, and blah... im getting to know some of the italians now!
V for vedetta, Bubble (the israeli one), The notebook, i´ve never seen the godfather and some other classical ones but i want to... Pedro Almodovar is great too, O cheiro do ralo (a crazy brasilian one), ...
I love reading too.. Julio Cortázar is one of my favourites right now.. Jostein Gaarder, Machado de Assis, Ferreira Gullar... this 'fantastic realism' had fascinated me.
