Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Basically: surfing couches, hosting people and exchanging ideas!
***
Quando hospedo pessoas tento ao máximo imergi-las em meu mundo para que tenham uma experiência legítima com a cidade e seu modo de vida. Ao mostrar aos hóspedes Belo Horizonte (e agora Porto Alegre!) e os círculos que frequento, não raro tomo emprestado o olhar do visitante e passo a entender aspectos da vida local até então insondáveis para mim mesmo!
Assim, quando viajo, gosto de adentrar no cotidiano das pessoas para ampliar minha compreensão do mundo também com os olhos de forasteiro.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At last years, while hosting people and surfing couches, I noticed that simple chats may change the course of our life.
***
A ideia de passar três ou quatro noites com pessoas que em breve provavelmente apenas viverão na memória tem sido para mim uma grande terapia da franqueza!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been naked on a church's rooftop!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to share some knowledge about south american concerns, mainly historical process and popular cultures. I would like also exchange tips on cooking vegetarian food, to take pictures with no professional cams, riding bikes on the street, to use linux OS, writing fictional texts and any kind of pleasure no related with buying and sell...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Coffee, music, wine, ideas, incenses, risoto, beer. And perhaps an yoga mat.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay
