ABOUT ME

Well... Hello, my name is Vinícius! I'm Brazilian, I'm 19 years old and I simply don't know how to define myself. I know that I enjoy living... a lot! I love to laugh and to talk and... to live! I absolutely adore art (especially literature), science, knowledge, studying, reading, learning. My main interest of study is... the whole world! I really enjoy some adventure at the same time I enjoy being at home, resting, at peace. I love my family, I love my friends, I love myself and I love Jesus. I'm contradictory, I'm problematic, I'm ambiguous... I'm human. You'll only know me when you meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a devoted Christian. My philosophy is His philosophy, the Biblical philosophy (can we call it philosphy?). But, as Jesus was, I'm open-minded, and I try to be always willing and ready to listen. As I said before I love Philosophy, Sociology and Psychoanalysis, even though they are not Christian sciences (is there a Christian science?). I live to fulfill God's will, to help people and to be helped by people, to study and comprehend the world, to love and to be loved, to collect and spread knowledge and faith. I live to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well... I'm 19 and I live with my parents who are wonderful people. Unfortunately I'm not waged so there's no way, for the time being, I can get verified or collaborate anyhow with CS. I'm quite a begginer in this thing of travelling, so I wanted to initiate the process with the right foot. If you do have conditions of accomodating me, that would be awesome! When I have conditions to do the same, belive me, I'll definitely do it, with pleasure. Thank you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everytime I had the chance of singing to a public was amazing (and having an extremely warm reception was fine too...). The first time I participated of a play, even though I had no lines, was also amazing. The first sermon I preached (preparing it was also wonderful!), the first seminar I presented at college... Wonderful moments!
