About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn a little bit from all people I know and all places I visit

ABOUT ME

Even when you have been spending years thinking and dreaming about it... take the first step is very hard. There is never a best moment, however time passes and the years go byâ

PHILOSOPHY

Vive como si fueras a morir mañana, aprende como si fueras a vivir para siempre.
The past is history. The future's mystery. The present is a gift.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a beginner... I spent a day and hosted a person in Madrid. I have been hosted in Brasil

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a CS member for almost 2 years, but I haven't participated so much. I hosted a person in Madrid, but I was always travelling because of my job and it wasn't easy.
Two weeks ago I met Paola in a bus from Rio to Angra, she is also a member of CD and she invited me to her house in Floripa. The experience is great. Once I have broken the ice and I'm looking forward to continuing like this.

Interests

I enjoy reading, travelling, learning, cinema, music, having a good conversation. I love new experiences and meeting people from different cultures.
