Eu gosto bastante de escutar conversas sobre a as histórias de vida. Caso a pessoa se sinta a vontade para contar. Também me interesso em saber sobre outras épocas, de escutar das próprias pessoas seus pontos de vista e opiniões.
Vivo com minha companheira Lorena, uma imigrante colombiana que acabou vindo morar aqui há alguns anos, buscando uma melhor vida. Ela gosta muito de escutar também, já que está no caminho da psicanálise.

I really enjoy listening to conversations about life stories. If the person feels comfortable telling it. I am also interested in knowing about other times, listening to people's own points of view and opinions.
I live with my partner Lorena, a Colombian immigrant who came to live here a few years ago in search of a better life. She likes to listen a lot too, since she is on the path of psychoanalysis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All my couchs were a very happy expirience. :)

I believe the mutual trust can exist at the world yet. Sometimes I asking myself, beyond the security needs, the short distances to work and other facilities, why we living in cities? I believe we can connect more to ourselfs personaly, we shouldn't live together just for convenience.

The couchsurfing attract me because it is a very good way to know other different cultures/ people. A way of a more intimate, and better immersive experience.

Sometimes, for curiosity I find and like not so world famous bands (which they are not the same style) , like Fela Kuti, Mano Chao, Fatoumata Diawara.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meu intercâmbio acadêmico em Mendoza na Argentina mudou muito a minha visão do mundo. Percebi que as distâncias no mundo não são tão grandes quanto se imagina e as diferenças culturais não devem nos dividir, mas apenas fazer parte da nossa identidade.
Me, my brother and cousin travel since Florianópolis (Brazil) to Montevideo and Colonia, in Uruguay in a short space time. There was a few and good days,
in what we know several things in Montevideo and Colonia and visited our uruguayan cousin , still the short time .
Moreover, it was our first trip together, and it was really fun.
