Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn more about the world through travel and to help others do the same
ABOUT ME
I am a big fan of sports and other competitive games such as chess. I am also increasingly fascinated by software and web development. I am also an amateur guitarist and drummer who loves Latin music and percussion in particular.
PHILOSOPHY
"Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted a few people and have also had the pleasure of showing a few people around our beautiful island. I am always up for a beer with someone who is just passing through or willing to help those who may need a little guidance on what to do.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I haven't couchsurfed myself. However I have been host and it's been a pleasure so far. I hope to visit Latin America and India in the next few years so that it would be great to have made some good friends through CS.
Interests
I have a pretty wide range of hobbies. Latin music and dancing (merengue, salsa, kizomba). I also enjoy a good political debate here and there. I play lots of chess in my free time and also watch a lot of football. Especially, when Brazil is playing.
