ABOUT ME

I´m an easy going and extrovert person, who loves to meet new people. I´m really passionate about traveling – I traveled for 404 days on a World Trip in 2013/14, and after that I´ve done short trips whenever I can.

I live in Curitiba, in the south of Brazil, where since 2015 I organize a food tour / bar hopping - it´s called Tour de Boteco: https://www.instagram.com/tourdeboteco/ On this tour I take groups of people to visit 3 pubs, on a walking tour, and in each place we eat local snacks. It´s a food tour, but it´s also a great way to meet new people and to have fun.

I also write a travel blog, since 2009: https://www.mochilaotrips.com/

I love to share experiences, to chat, laugh, have fun, dance, to lear new things, to go to pubs, and also adventure, nature, cycling, trekking, outdoor activities and to learn about new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

To try to be the person that I´d like to have always by my side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´ve already hosted many people on my last home, but it´s been a while since I´ve used CS. I´m reactivating it now for the trip to Mexico - we´ll spend about 50 days traveling around the country - and hopefully I´ll host again when I´m back from the trip.

I love the idea of CS, sharing experiences with travellers from all around the world is great! That´s why I´ve used it so much during my world trip in 2014.

Btw, I don´t like to host people for one night only, it´s not time enough to get to know someone. If you want to stay for one night only, I suggest you look for another host, as I probably won´t accept your request.

Also, if you send me a one line request, or a copy and paste one, you´ll receive a negative answer. If you wanna stay with me, please show me that you read my profile and send me a proper and personalized request.

I have a dog, that is very energetic and that loves to play with my guests =). If you don´t like dogs, then my place is not the best option for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just amazing! It´s the best way to have a local experience when you visit a different country, and to feel like travelling when you host someone!

Interests

Traveling, cycling, trekking, beach, mountain, sunny days, going out, going to pubs, meeting new people, dancing, watching the sunset, having fun! And not to know what´s gonna happen in the next day. ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling by myself on a 404 days World Trip
Doing an exaustive but incredible 3 days trekking in Rinjani Volcano in Indonesia.
Playing river weed war with children in Laos, even not speaking a word in the same language.
Drinking cups and cups of tea with the simple and super friendly people in Myanmar.
Couchsurfing in a Carpet Shop inside a cave in Cappadocia.
Going on an eight days amazing (and wet!) trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal, during the monsoons (and having 51 leeches over me during the trek)!
Diving with huge turtles in Bali.
Learning to hitchhike in Greece, and walking for hours under the summer sun carrying the backpack until I got a ride.
Going to a Gipsy party in Budapest and dancing like crazy.
Eating spicy food with the hands and taking thousands of pics with the locals as if I were a Bollywood star in India.
Making so many awesome friends during the World Trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you wanna learn some Portuguese, or even Spanish, I can help you with that.
If you speak French, I´d love if I could practice a bit with you.
I´d love to learn about your culture, food, music, history... Anything you can teach me - that´s exactly why I travel, to learn more and more!
If you come to Curitiba, you can join me at the the Food Tour / Bar Hopping that I organize here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so I can prepare you some dishes we eat here in Brazil, if you want. I can share many travel stories with you as well. I love to chat, I´d love to hear your stories as well.
