CURRENT MISSION

making the world a better place

ABOUT ME

I I'm quite relaxed and get along with all kinds of people... I currently live in Brussels and work in Antwerp as a social Orientation teacher. Much of my time I am practicing capoeira, which I really love. If not I like to read about history and political subjects as well as listening to music and playing a bit of guitar, berimbau and pandeiro. I love to be around my family and friends and to receive people.

When couchsurfing started to become payed, I stopped being active, but now I want to give it a try again. In the end I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet people/

PHILOSOPHY

life is dancing on a string, making music through your acts

A vida é dançar numa corda, fazendo musica através seus atos

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing in Brasil/Bahia and it was just fantastic... I have also been surfing couches before I got to know this site ... I have received some people in Brussels a while ago, which was really fantastic. I love the concept.
