About Me

[Brasileiros e Hermanos Latinos-Americanos são mais que bem vindos, não há qualquer distinção entre seu pedido e o dos demais]
I DON'T LIVE ANYWHERE NEAR RIO DE JANEIRO. ILHA GRANDE IS NOT NEAR HERE. At least not the ILHA grande you're looking for.
BE A TRAVELLER, NOT A TOURIST.
I DON'T ACCCEPT REQUESTS FROM ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS NAZIS, FASCISTS, "ULTRANATIONALISTS" OR ANY KIND OF MOVEMENT THAT DEFENDS SEGREGATION, RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, SEXISM OR XENOPHOBIA, NO MATTER WHAT REASONS YOU THINK MIGHT JUSTIFY THIS SUPPORTING OF YOURS. IF YOU'RE IN COUCHSURFING, YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES, NOT BORDERS. IF BORDERS ARE ENFORCED, WE NO LONGER WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORLD WE WORKERS HAVE BUILT.
I don't accept requests from people with no or nearly zero references or people that have recently signed up. This is not air BnB. If you want to have good experiences, you're more than welcome. If you just want a place to stay you should pay for that. I've had a couple of bad or simply shallow experiences that made me rethink about who I host in my house. Unfortunately, couch surfing has changed a lot in the last years it has attracted people who don't understand the spirit. I've never used this website to stay in people's houses but still I've had great experiences because I love to share, to have nice conversations and stuff. So, again if you're just looking for place to stay, there are cheap options in our city.
I work as a teacher and I play in a band, that means sometimes I will be busy and might not see your request. Some people send requests a month or more before. THAT IS THE IDEAL! If you send me a request in the day you're coming or 2 days before, I'm not sure it will be possible to host you. If you don't know exactly when you're coming, send me a message and when you're sure, send a request. It's no problem! I've been doing Couchsurfing for quite a while and it's a great experience! Read the references and my profile for more information. :)

ABOUT ME

I don't have much to say about me. I'm just someone who likes to share experiences and who believes people and nature are the source of the best in our lives. Emotions, ideas, sensations, thoughts, that's what my life is made of. I wish I can be helped here in this way, but I also will be glad to help people with similar or different interests. I'm constantly looking for myself and this search will never finish, I'm sure. But my life goes on, and that's what it is.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a communist, I believe the working class must have access to the means of production and the product of our work. I don't believe that concentration of wealth is going to take us anywhere good. Billionaires should cease to exist, their existance has only one purpose and it's to spread misery. You don't need to be a communist to be in my place, but you should know I am one and I won't hide myself inside my own home because of that. If you don't feel comfortable with that information, just don't ask for a couch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have experiences and to share anything that is valuable for anyone. Sometimes it's not possible to travel to another place; when people stay here, the place comes to my house.

Interests

Brasileiros e Hermanos são MUITO bem vindos!

Music, Movies, and Books

Cinema Paradiso

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling by motorbike is my favorite activity at the moment. I've done some trips and this is something I like very much. I'm also a teacher and a musician. I consider these things amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese, English...

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a bedroom for guests with a single bed and a hammock. You can use our appliances and utilities, like a bathroom, fridge and stove. Just make sure not to make any mess and keep things tidy. Me and my wife work all day so we don't have a lot of time to clean things every day.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, England, Germany, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil
