About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just started a business, so... Making it work! :-)

ABOUT ME

I finally found work that I love, so I guess I have fun there... And when I'm not working, I'm usually with friends, here or at cities nearby. I enjoy cooking (even though I'm not very good at it), driving on the road (that I'm good at, I swear!), spending time with my maily and friends and, of course, travelling, specially to the beach. LOVE books and music, specially rock and jazz (Also, I take percussion classes). Writing is sort of one of my needs as well. Addicted to tv series (what can I do?!?).Latelly I'm very interested in knowing different cultures... I was having a blast with skypecasts and when I heard of couchsurfing, I knew I had to check it out.Guess it's all for now.

PHILOSOPHY

We talk about making a better world to our children... When will we think about raising better children to our world?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Long time ago I heard about it from a friend and decided to check it out. Unfortunatelly, can't open my house to visitors, as it is not MY house to open... I'm all up for coffee, though! And if things go well, I might have a couch soon... :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. Or maybe some... let a friend of a friend crush at my couch once (actually, at the hotel's couch where I was) and stayed at a girl's place in Recife that was a friend of a friend of a friend...

Does that count?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To start my own business. To fail in it. To learn from it. To begin all over again...

Teach, Learn, Share

Other than what I do for a living? Got to think about it... I was an English teacher for quite sometime, maybe something in that area.
