My name is Anderson, chemist of 26 years old and I living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am doing my master degree here in Rio. I am friendly person who likes meet and learn about different cultures. Elements such as: food, music, drinks, places, history and philosophy are things which I identified. I'm a beginner traveler, especially in couchsurfing. . However, I love to explore alternatives and share experiences with the people who I met. My biggest passion is talk, especially around a good food or beer. My phrase favorite is “There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.” by Nietzsche. I believe that there are always parts of your life that we would like to describe in a very detail way, but in my opinion, the better way to know it, is by yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met Couchsurfing while I was working in Colombia. However, it was just only in Brazil, when I began to be interested in doing alternative travel.
The biggest motivation to keep in couchsurfing is the great oportunity to make new friends in new places. I have been in some places of Brazil and It always a cool experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always remember the time when I done the longest hiking which I never made. It was awesome! The place is called EL NEVADO DEL COCUY which is located in Boyacá, COLOMBIA. It is a national park and a set of highlands within the Cordillera Oriental mountain range in the Andes Mountains of Colombia. The higher peak was the el Púlpito del Diablo (around 5100 m). I walked during 14 hours, crossing different ecosystems and vegetation. I loved the opportunity to overcome my own limits and weakness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Normally, we regret about the things that we didn't do it and not about the things that we have done. There are not answers in our life. Only when we take the risk of doing something, we are going to know the result. Be grateful and pasionate with the life because the day of life is another chance to reinventing us and explore new possibilities.
Finally, keep your friends, at the end our life is remeing through of these coletive memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts
