Seeing the world...

ABOUT ME

Living in France at the moment! Great times 😍

I am a merchant navy officer, I work in the coast of Brazil, and I love travelling.

I'm from Rio de Janeiro, born and raised. When I was 19 I decided to join the navy and become a merchant navy officer. After 3 years "stuck" in Rio, not being able to travel much, I started working and travelling around Brazil. My job allowed me to know some beautiful places in my country and I feel blessed for having the chance to visit such beautiful places.

As I said before, being in the merchant navy allows me to travel a lot, I have quite a generous vacation. Going to different places and meeting people makes me really happy, so I try to visit a new place everytime I have a chance. I am very open minded, I love art, music, and a good party too! One of my favorite activities is to show foreigners my favorite places in Rio. It is like telling someone a secret haha

I am very impulsive, so if I tell you I am going somewhere...I WILL. So don't invite me if you don't mean it haha like this one time I met a french girl in NY and she said i should visit her in Marseille...so i bought a ticket to france. That's how I am. I am driven by amazing connections I make with people. It could be with someone from my street, or someone that lives across the globe. It's all about how they make you feel!

If you want a couch, i will tell you in advance that my schedule is very busy but if there is a tiny chance of us meeting, i will grab it.

Please, take the time to read my profile, on your message or request, show me that you've read it. I always update my profile saying when I'm out of town.

PHILOSOPHY

don't be a dick...i wish most people followed that philosophy haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the weekly meetings in Rio, I got to meet so many people and had lots of fun. I would like to create a weekly event but for now it is impossible because of my job...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in the US and I loved it! I could understand what couchsurfing is all about and it amazed me! Can't wait to do it again in europe! I have hosted in Rio and it was such a great experience! Being able to show my city from my point of view...i loved it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My dad gave me as a birthday gift a helicopter ride around Rio. Seeing the Christ so close was amazing. It really touched me. Also the 911 memorial. Beautiful and sad place, the pools are indescribable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to practice my french! I can always teach portuguese! It would be awsome to do some art together as well!! Let's paint sometime?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you a bit of portuguese maybe? I wish I could say I can cook but I'm not gonna lie...maybe share a good take out? I can asure you that I will do my best to get to know you, hang out with you and share a bit of my life with you...:) hope that makes up for the lousy cooking skills.
