Hey, I’m Bruno 👋

I’m an actor and a quality control specialist in the automotive industry (yes, quite a mix!).
I’d describe myself as a balance between introverted and extroverted, I love connecting with people and having nice conversations, but I also value my alone time.
Nature is my happy place. I’m passionate about animals, beaches, hiking, and anything that lets me enjoy the outdoors. That said, I’m equally happy staying at home, doing nothing, just watching movies or listening to music.

I’m Brazilian, and Japan was my home for over 20 years.
In 2025 I took a gap year to travel, meet people, and experience new cultures… and yeah, life had other plans.

Towards the end of that gap year, I came back to Brazil. What was supposed to be just a visit turned into me staying a bit longer. After many years away, I decided to give Brazil another chance.
I honestly don’t know yet if I’ll stay or move on again, for now, I’m just giving it a chance and seeing how it feels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy stepping out of my routine, meeting people from different places and having real and nice conversations. If I could, I’d be traveling nonstop, but since that’s not always possible, I hit the road whenever I can. I’m into genuine experiences, the kind you get by sharing a meal or a random story with someone local. That’s why I’m here. Nothing against hotels, but I’ll always pick a good chat in someone’s kitchen over a generic breakfast buffet.

Music, Movies, and Books

So, here’s a fun(maybe not so fun)fact: a few years ago, I actually lost all my memory, yeah, like a real life plot twist! I’ve gotten it back now (thankfully), but when it comes to books and movies, some things are still a bit fuzzy. So I’ve been re-reading and re-watching stuff like I’m discovering them all over again.

I won’t go into too much detail here but if we vibe, I might just share that wild chapter of my life with you. No spoilers tho!

When it comes to music, I like pretty much everything as long as it’s not just screaming.
Recently I’ve been listening to R&B, Soul, Indie, Jazz, Brazilian MPB…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bathing and hugging an elephant in Thailand was an experience I will never forget!
Do not ride them, btw.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Japanese, English, and Portuguese, so if you want to practice or exchange any of these, I’ll be happy to help!

Warning ⛔️
I come with chaotic stories, embarrassing moments and bad jokes…proceed at your own risk!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll save you the disappointment of tasting my food(I’m a good assistant tho!). I can share stories, walk your dog (or let them walk me?), and if you have a cat, no problem, I’m a master at petting and meowing them back!
Ok, I might have some quirky skills, but I’m honest, respectful, and ready to be a good guest.
That’s a good start, right?
