CURRENT MISSION

To get people to laugh. to learn better engineering practices, to learn japanese and to play Monster Hunter.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised half of my life in Caicó and the other in Natal, both in Rio Grande do Norte state, people born in this state are called potiguares, a word in portuguese that literally means "Shrimp eaters". So yeah..I like shrimp!

My family had a huge impact over my education: my always funny father, my serious and prepared mother and my smart brotherl; throw in some nerd friends and worried aunts and I'm what you've got!

I'm quite simply a magician at heart, a comedian by vocation (that's what my friends say) and engineer by choice (4th year student at the moment)..and since it takes a little magic to make engineering and jokes work I'd say my heart is as fine as it could get :).

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something to teach, no matter how long it takes for you to learn.

Sacrifice, endure, forgive. Always.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have no previous experience with couchsurfing and I don't have a couch available at the moment but I can explore together and show around which places I already know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just signed up so no stories at the moment, sorry!

Interests

Gaming, reading (comics, mangas, books, gimme anything!), language learning, sightseeing, discovering new foods, horror stories, listening ( stories, music and just plain listening to friends). I'm also interested in the following (remember it's just interest, I'm no more than an amateur at those): drawing, sculpture, painting (not canvas, sculptures or figures), programming and creative writing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped about 5 people during an exam week which I also had a lot of reports to deliver, didn't sleep for 4 days, in the end everything was alright :).

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach portuguese and some mad Matlab skillz (only 2 years of experience but I do know quite something).

I would like to learn Japanese, German and perhaps someday to paint the black and white or old figures I bought here in Japan.
