ABOUT ME

Hi! I live and work in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. I want to visit new places and make new friends! I'd be very happy to offer my couch to anyone! I love to travel and make new friends! I like sports, especially football (soccer). I drink sometimes and don't smoke. I love music (rock n' roll), movies and TV series. I am totally passionate about my family and the Internacional (Sport Club Internacional, my team) and ciclotourist planning a trip!
* Bike Friendly Couch *

[INGLISH] More details:
Read my 'Couch Information' before requesting my couch!If the purpose of your message is to ask to surf my couch, please use the 'CouchSurf with Alexandre Ritter!' button. If you just want to send a friendly 'hello' message, please use the 'Send Email' button.

You'll have more probabilities to surf my couch if you have a full and updated profile, and you must be a CSer, not a person that created a profile a week before to start a trip, without references, friends or voucher.Please Note: If your CouchSurf request shows that you haven't read my profile and my guidelines, my reply might not be very friendly! Don't lie. Be honest!

[PORTUGUES] Mais detalhes:
Ler minhas 'Informacoes de Couch' antes de solicitar o sofa!Se o proposito de sua mensagem e pedir para surfar em meu sofa, por favor use o botao 'CouchSurf com Alexandre Ritter!'. Se voce quer apenas enviar uma mensagem amigavel, por favor use o botao 'Enviar e-mail'.

Voce vai ter maior probabilidade para surfar no meu sofa se voce tem um perfil completo e atualizado, e voce deve ser um Cser, nao uma pessoa que criou um perfil uma semana antes de comecar a viagem, sem referencias, amigos ou vouchers.

Nota Importante: Se o seu pedido de CouchRequest mostrar que voce nao leu meu perfil e minhas orientacoes, a minha resposta pode nao ser muito amigavel! Leia o perfil completo! Nao minta. Seja honesto!

PHILOSOPHY

[...] Entendo que viajar e uma opcao e uma possibilidade, e que nao e crucial para se viver bem, mas tenho certeza que se viajassemos com mais frequencia, seri­amos mais solidarios, haveria menos racismo, menos guerra! Aprenderi­amos viver com as diferencas e viveri­amos em harmonia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Besides surfing, hosting and attending to many meetings around me, I'm involved with CouchSurfing in other ways:

MY ASSIGNMENTS IN COUCHSURFING:
I participated as CouchSurfing Team Member
Ambassador of City: Curitiba, Brazil [Embaixador de Cidade]

MODERATOR / MODERADOR:
Moderator: City of Curitiba [Curitiba PR, Brasil]
Moderator: South of Brazil [Sul do Brasil]
Moderator: South America [America do Sul]

[INGLISH] My participation as a Member I participated as CS Team Member and I'm City Ambassador of Curitiba, Brasil. There we are always greeting new members and teaching them how to use CS Website, easy job but in fact really important!

Traveling, hosting and surfing. This is the best way to experience the world and to get to know the different people who live in it.

Currently, I live with my wife in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (Brazil), and I make myself available to help people, hosting them and showing them the city. I like to participate in the CS Weekly Meetings in Curitiba, since I meet people like myself who like the travel, and whom I try to help with what they need.

Today I consider myself a pretty active member of CouchSurfing!---
[PORTUGUES] Minha participacao como Membro Eu participava como CS Team Member e sou Embaixador da Cidade de Curitiba, Brasil. Estamos sempre saudando os novos membros e ensinando-os a usar o CS Website, tarefa facil, mas na verdade realmente muito importante!

Viajando, hospedando e 'surfando'. Esta e a melhor maneira de experimentar o mundo e para conhecer as diferentes pessoas que vivem nele.

Atualmente moro com minha esposa em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (Brasil), e me disponho a ajudar as pessoas, hospedando ou levando a passeios pela cidade. Gosto de participar dos CS Weekly Meetings em Curitiba, pois encontro pessoas com o mesmo gosto por viagens, e a mesma intensao de ajudar quem precisa.

Hoje ja me considero um membro bastante ativo do CouchSurfing!
