I was born in Petropolis and I've been living in Rio since 2016. Located in Santa Teresa, really close to Lapa.🔥
***************************************************
Nascido em Petrópolis e morando no Rio desde 2016. Localizado em Santa Teresa, muito próximo a Lapa. 🔥

I study economics and my graduation will be next July (2020). I've already worked at the financial market and as an infrastructure consultant. I do not regret even though I promised myself I won't ever work for big money once again. 😊
***************************************************
Estudo economia e me formo em Julho deste ano, 2020. Já trabalhei no mercado financeiro e numa consultoria de infraestrutura. Não me arrependo porém prometi a mim mesmo nunca mais trabalhar para o grande capital novamente. 😊

For now, I want to focus on what feels important to me. Since I have bills to be paid - as pretty much everybody else - I started to work as English teacher for Brazilians and Portuguese for foreigners. 📚
***************************************************
Agora, quero focar no que é importante para mim. Como tenho contas a serem pagas - assim como todo mundo - comecei a dar aulas de inglês para brasileiros e português para estrangeiros. 📚

Surfer, skateboarder, camper, biker, hiker and some other ers. Passionate about sports and being in contact with nature and wildlife. Skateboarding gave me skate and destroy while surfing gave me surf and enjoy. 🤙🏽
***************************************************
Skatista, surfista, campista, ciclista, montanhista e alguns outros istas. Apaixonado por esportes e estar em contato com a natureza e vida selvagem. O skate me deu o skate and destroy e o surf me deu surf and enjoy. 🤙🏽

Cannabis activist. Extremely concerned about social impact of prohibition especially in marginal populations (poor, black, latin). 🍁
***************************************************
Maconheiro ativista. Extremamente preocupado com o impacto social da proibição especialmente nas populações marginais (pobres, pretos, latinos). 🍁

I love travelling and meeting new people, reason why I usually stay at campings and at my ex-surfers' houses. Or their friends. We created this amazing network of travellers who we met. 🌎
***************************************************
Amo viajar e conhecer novas pessoas. Por isso, tento me hospedar em campings e na casa das pessoas que já recebi. Ou seus amigos. Criamos uma rede maravilhosa na nossa casa. 🌎

I live at Maracutaia, a group of 5 people including myself, and a +1 - my brother who lives in São Paulo and visit us sometimes. Instagram upwards for those who are curious enough. 🏠
***************************************************
Eu moro em Maracutaia, um grupo de 5 pessoas contando comigo, e um +1 - meu irmão, que vive em São Paulo e nos visita as vezes. Instagram acima para os suficientemente curiosos. 🏠

We want people to feel home when with us, which means sharing everything, from food to beers and all the way to memories, stories.. experience in a general way. A must for staying here is openness. Don't expect just a place to sleep - we don't want this kind of surfer. 🤷‍♀️
***************************************************
Queremos que as pessoas se sintam em casa conosco, o que significa compartilhar tudo, desde comida até cervejas, passando por memórias, histórias.. experiência de uma forma geral. Ser uma pessoa aberta é imprescindível. Não espere somente um lugar para dormir - não queremos esse tipo de viajante. 🤷‍♀️

My dream and goal is to have a small place to host people - travellers or not - and be a place of information sharing, music creation and spread of culture. That being said, I dedicate myself as much as I can to show the city around, cook tasty dishes and keep the house in good conditions. Feel free to contribute with my work and help me build this dream. 💰
***************************************************
Meu sonho e objetivo é ter um pequeno espaço para receber pessoas - viajantes ou não - e ser um espaço de compartilhamento de informações, criação de música e espalhar cultura. Assim, me dedico o máximo que posso para mostrar a cidade, cozinhar bem e manter a casa em boas condições. Sinta-se a vontade para contribuir com meu trabalho e me ajude a construir esse sonho. 💰

TIP: We search for travellers who are willing to contribute to our place with more than shared beers and good stories, which does not mean they are not important at first place hahaha So if you have any abilities - painting, repairing, singing, etc - let us know!! 🤘🏾
***************************************************
DICA: Procuramos viajantes que possam contribuir com nosso lugar com mais que cervejas compartilhadas e boas histórias, o que não significa que elas não sejam importantes hahaha então se você tem alguma habilidade - pintura, reparos, canto, etc - conta pra gente!! 🤘🏾

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to communicate and exchange experiences with other cultures. Knowledge vector for world population.

Interests

I love surfing and skating - both are of flagship importance for me to be in a good mood. Recently I rediscovered my interest for photography and writing poetry. Really into politics, literature and arts. In a long-term relationship with Samba. Curious about socioeconomic development in poor countries. Concerned about Drug Policy and Politics in general. Fascinated by human beings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I usually listen to Brazilian Music such as samba, forró and MPB and surely love Surf Music such as Jack Johnson. I'm extremelly ecletic though and could listen to nearly everything if my mood says so. Latino America from Calle 13 is a must listen song to me.

I don't go to the movies often. I enjoy watching short films, documentaries and animations mainly. My favourite movies are Surfwise, Captain Fantastic, Amelie Poulain, Matrix and Grass is Greener. Recently I've been through a movie maraton with my girlfriend and I can add Jojo Rabbit, Knives Out and Bacurau (must watch!!).
I love a

I love reading books about any theme. Knowledge hunter and book eater. Currently I'm reading mainly Brazilian Literature and Sociology. My favourite ones are Sapiens, Las Venas Abiertas de Latinoamerica, O Triste Fim de Policarpo Quaresma, Eragon and Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I got barreled while surfing - I ensure you is the best feeling on Earth.

Swimming across a large river at Vallizas, Uruguay was pure adrenalin. Not reaching the other side would send us through open sea !! hahaha

Sleeping in the streets at Cabo Polonio, Uruguay was something I won't ever forget. I haven't ever seen a sky with so many stars. Plus, I saw bioluminescence algae while walking along the beach to reach the city, after 3 hours walking.

What else? Reach my place. I'll tell you more.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything. Teach together, learn together. All kind of knowledge is welcome.

Brazilian history, politics, economics, sociology, cooking, preparing caipirinhas, biking... depends on you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything in my range of experience and knowledge. Politics vision, Social thoughts, Brazilian experiences, skateboarding, surfing, homemade food, going out, hiking, biking, you choose!
