I am an open, friendly, curious, and eager-to-learn person with the age of 23 years old, or less, forever. That´s the age I chosed to be all my life, with a younger spirit despite my timeline showing I have lived more than that and my mind hoping I will live hundreds of years:))). I chosed this age after I did some tests (physical etc), and the machines showed 23 was my biological age. I liked it and have been trying to keep it since then:)).

I live part of the time in Brazil (a lot in Belém, but sometimes in Natal or Rio de Janeiro) and part of the time in Oslo, Norway. I like to learn about lots of things and share experiences. And I love to exchange ideas and visions of the world. I have travelled around lots of countries, and in the box "Countries I´ve visited" below in my profile I list some of them.

I travel often, so email and facebook are still the best way to contact me.

Usually, if I am travelling and can not host someone, I may have a friend who might be able to do so. So, please remember I need to be contacted a couple of weeks earlier to be able to check and find out which friend (s) can be hosting you.
You can find more about me and even my phone number in my facebook: carloscaju jungleman.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im a traveller, have been travelling for a long time, and understand that it is also my duty to help other travellers to go furhter on their journeys. One of many projetcs is to travel around the world, 200 countries at least, from which I have already travelled a few. I want to learn as much as I can from anyone I meet and I like to believe my best friend may be someone I have not met yet....
So, I find the Couchsurf idea is really good and may be very a helpful instrument.

I have been hosting travellers far before I joined Couchsurfing, so hosting friends and unknown travellers who in the end become good friends of mine has been part of my life for a long time:).

Interests

I love music, nearly all kinds, I just do not enjoy much heavy rock ´n roll.
I like action films and comedy, I love documentaries, and I like all kinds of books from which I can learn something useful....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I have done great amazing things, one of them was travelling all around the whole Brazilian Amazon during one year and a week, by off-road vehicle, boat, small arcraft, etc, and living with indigenous people in the heart of the Amazon forest and learning some of their language made this one of my amazing experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching languages, communication, environmetal and development issues, as well as sports and survival skills. I like sharing some of my life experiences with people who are really interested in learning something new.
