About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem

ABOUT ME

I am a collector of knowledge, a wisdom raider.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile.
Are you unhappy? Smile.
Are you worried about something? Smile.
Are you nervous for that important meeting? Smile.

Your problems may still be there, but your smile could save someone´s life. Who knows if karma law won´t be saving yours?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, i have to be honest: I am a newcomer, so I am still a little lost. At the moment i don´t have any couch available in the city I am living in, but I´ll try to be available to a cup or coffe or tea or some drink!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:
Dream theater is on my top 5, I like some really heavy metal bands (even if now i don´t listen to them so much as before) but I also like some pop (r.i.p. king!...), some hip hop, some classic music, faith no more, gogoll bordello, Steve Vai, pearl jam, radiohead, ramstein, moby, mesa, blasted mechanism, most of my friends bands and so many many many more.

MOVIES:
"brilliant mind" (BRILLIANT!); "sixth sense" such as all movies of M.Night shyamalan ; "the others" ; lord of the rings trilogy; the matrix; all Monty python movies and series; A.I Artificial Intelligence; the exorcist (I am huge fan of horror movies); American beauty; most of the marvel movies; practically every movies of emir kusturica,the great Serbian director (I said "practically" because there was one i didn´t like); every movies of Quentin Tarantino; every movies of the great master Alfred Hitchcock; probably all movies of Steven Spielberg; the triology american pie; big fish; the rounders; etc.

BOOKS: evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, from the portuguese nobel prize José Saramago ; the alchemist from Paulo Coelho(I also like and have read all the books he wrote); perfume - story of an assassin from Patrick Suskind; Misery, the final chapter from the master Stephen King.
After these ones, there are lots of books I liked. I loved the "blindness" from José Saramago, I love the triology Isabel Allende wrote; a book wich the writer i don´t rember called "Israel-Palestine", etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

NO! That is to talk about when we meet, in real life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to juggle with 3 balls and then, depending on your patience and wiling: 4!

I can try to teach you portuguese!

I can teach you how to play chess!

I can teach you how to play poker!

I can help you with some tips on writing your story!

I would like to learn about the process of plantation of coconuts in Madagáscar, can you help me? LOL. Just joking. In each couch that I sleep, I am going to want to learn a new thing with it´s owner.

Real skills? Well, I want to be a web designer or working with multimedia. Can you help me? Do you know a place with not expensive courses?
