CURRENT MISSION

Feel every little possible experience that could fit in an adjective... anywhere.

ABOUT ME

I love to write. I love to travel. So I walk around the world with my big brown eyes, my big Arabic nose and my small beautiful ears open to feel and capture all impressions. And then I feel this huge, intense feeling...about telling those stories. To anyone, anywhere, anytime. So I can seem quite uncommon. Bot not crazy, I swear. I talk a lot. I think in a strange way --better said, peculiar way. I get confused sometimes; I am not usual. But I love to exchange every bit of experience with anyone. As my Iranian friend used to joke, I am open-minded. Maybe too much.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't have a specific goal in life, if you haven't found a meaning that lights your thoughts every morning (or night; it depends) you wake up, if you have doubts about the future and the reason while you do what you do, my advice is: get the hell out of where you are right now and hit the road! Later you'll find out (as I did) that everything was somehow previously designed to match what you only came to know later. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used my friends account both to host and to be hosted: I lived with two guys at different times that had CS accounts and I traveled with both of them around the world...through CS! Now i finally decided to have my own profile and hope to host and be hosted by as many people as destiny decides!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled through CS for about two years now. My first experience was two years ago with a friend in Paris. Since then me and my friend, Silas Marti, while living togehter, hosted more than tne people. Than I moved to live with another friend, Mauricio Horta. We hosted some five people in São Paulo, before starting a one year trip around the globe, starting in San Francisco, US, where we stayed with incredible people, like Robin and Diego. I couchsurfed in Delhi, India (this was not a very good story, but I've forgotten already), than in Thailand, Vietnan, China and Iran --for sure, the best ever possible couchsurfing experience, since Iranians are warm, kind, polite, welcoming and really happy people, like Brazilians. Anyway, I would say that most of my CS experiences (both hosting and being a guest) were very nice -30% of them trully wonderful. I love CS!

Interests

Traveling, above anything else.
History, Literature, Music, Cinema. People.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, Music, I love many things and hate to enumerate. But I like my books from Sthendal to Philip Roth, from Proust to Amos Oz, from Clarice Lispector to Dostoievski, from Anais Nin to the Bible (only for History research purpose and for narrative inspirations)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

+ Watching the orange Everest at the pink sunset from Kala Patar mountain.
+ Eating pig with rice among laughters at the most bizarre and happy funeral I've ever been in Indonesia.
+ Traveling for ten days across Iran with the craziest, most interesting and lovely people I've ever met -one of them declaming Persian poems while driving at 200 km/h acroos the Kaluts and desert.
+ Snorkelling in Bunaken, Indonesia. Seriously the most beautiful scene ever thought, after Everest. ;-)
