CURRENT MISSION

Understand what this easy laid back backpackers life is all about. I NEED to join this community!!!

ABOUT ME

My home town isn't where I grew up. I'm a Third Culture Kid. That means that I was born in Brazil (Campina Grande), but grew up in Tunisia (Tunis) and Egypt (Cairo). After I graduated, I ended up in Vienna for about a year and a half. Then I went to some dumb town to study (September 2008), but I made a mistake because this place does not reflect me whatsoever. So i dropped out, and applied to another University. So for now (Jan 2009 - September 2009) I'm totally free and open for anything good, that includes traveling.
About me generally... well i love music and I take this free-time-opportunity to make music. I play guitar in a band in Vienna, and thats pretty much all I'm doing at the moment. I'm also really into art, however I'm just a spectator, I have little artistic abilities. I'm supposed to get my dad's old OLD camera that he used to travel around with, so I'll be picking up on Photography. I used to do a lot of sports in school, but i assume the team sports are over for now. I bought a Traction Power Kite (Ozone Flow 5.0m) couple days ago, so I'm picking up on that slowly, too. Other than that I'm a pretty laid back guy who only wants to have a peaceful good time with friends and meet as many people as i possibly can! I want to be an explorer. And I'm trying to teach myself to enjoy reading books in my free time ^^ getting there..

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is only real when shared...
The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences...
Use boredom constructively and you could be onto something really big...
Love is an ability...
Don't talk to strangers is the dumbest thing I've heard. My friends were all strangers before I found out that I'm nothing without them...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not really sure, I just want to travel and join a community that does it, too. One day I'll be giving out hints and tips hopefully.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I personally haven't ever been couchsurfing (YET). But I've always envied the lost Backpackers and how they got to choose their next place to go to by blindly pointing at a city on a map.

Interests

Oh thats a mean question. I'm interested in many things. Especially meeting spontaneous people, creative and funny too. I want to see things I've only seen on TV.
I also love music, can't say that enough times. It's all around me... it's the only drug I abuse to crucial states (like not sleeping for days because I'd be working on a song for example)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: everything, from Electronic to Rock, 60ies to Vintage to Ambient.
Movies: Funny movies, No brainer movies, movies that inspire you to do something, and movies with a not so cliche story line

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the Pyramids, and I was allowed to!! But not to the top obviously. My school graduated in front of the Pyramids.
