About Me

I find myself more interested to know the people that lives where I am going to than the place itself. Have moved house four times in Brazil, most of the times for study reasons and learned that when you get out of you comfort zone you start to evolve. Now here I'm at Budapest, one of the best cities in the world ,could I say that?

I'm in the 3rd year of Information Systems, which is Computer Science with some Administration courses. Science Without Borders is a Brazilian exchange program that resembles ERASMUS, we have to choose a country and a University that we would like to go, and that is how I ended up in Hungary. Lucky guy.

Currently I share the flat with another Brazilian guy and two french girls besides a dutch girl that was living with us last semester. Living with these guys has been pretty awesome!

Come to my place or let me stay in yours and then I tell you the rest :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part about couch surfing is to exchange life experiences between people you wouldn't know other way. Every guest or host has some story to share and things to learn or to teach.

The first time I received people at my place I found out that CS is the best way to improve your trip with good companies. We travel to discover new things and understand the history of some place and why not know the people that are building the history of that place right now?

Interests

I'm very passionate about science and love technology as well. I think it helps the world get better each day and since we are surround by it in every aspect we should know more about it.
Music, makes you life better.
Huge fan of cinema. Would like to discover how is the European scene since we don't get in Brazil most of what is produced here.
Beer. ofc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Rock, Blues, EDM, Hip Hop. YO!

Movies:
- LOTR Trilogy
- Fight Club
- Matrix
- Tarantino's movies
- Scorcese as well
- and why not Kubrick? Seriously?
- not too cult to like David Lynch, or maybe too sane at the moment.

Books:
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- LOTR Series
- Game of Thrones

too nerdish.

Not a book guy, I should be bit more though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't remember anything right now, but I think the little things that you do daily baisis, all together comes to be what you are and that is the big thing, something you are still building up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play guitar, I'm not the Jimmy Page, Slash, Steve vai or anything like those guys but I know some chords ;D
I can also show you what Brazilian Music sounds like, from Bossa Nova to the new hypes (which I will only play if you ask for it), including Ai Se Eu Te Pego.
I would love to learn any music skills of yours, as well.

And guess what? I speak Portuguese! It might not be at the top of your language list to learn, but I can tech you some if you want to.

Always loved to teach something to someone. If you like to teach and are very open to knew experiences you will learn teaching. Keep that in mind.

Right now I'm trying to learn German. Difficult language I would say and if you have grasp of it, I'd really appreciate if you'd share what you know with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Could give you some Hungarian drinks and food as well.
Besides that, I know how to cook some of the best Brazilian foods *cough cough* that you make you ask yourself "Why in the hell I haven't been in Brazil yet???". For those who have already been there, you know what I'm trying to say here.
