CURRENT MISSION

To visit and know as many different interesting people as I can while I'm here for an exchange program

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 years old guy who is passionate about having good conversations, about interest in general, and expanding my inpressions of the world.Student of International Relations (and part time singer in a cover band) currently having the major experience of his life. I'm in an exchange program that allowed me to meet dozens of people from different countries right on the first weeks, a lot of them studying the same subjects as me, and sharing different tastes and views in life. All this here in Braga, Portugal.Now I'm interested in knowing other cities around europe and take the experience even further.

PHILOSOPHY

There's none. Don't think too much about it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting at this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. My sister had a great time using it for a few years and advised me to join.

Interests

Music - Music is everywhere in my life. I can show a lot of different brazilian styles. I can also enjoy all different sounds in parties. Also, in my city we've recently started a band to play in parties and small venues.Mostly, at home, I listen to alternative indie rock bands, such as Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Yuck, and others. I also love some reggae, and brazilian rithms such as Samba, MPB, Bossa Nova and a whole lot more. But the best for me is to discover new soundsSports - I'm a football fanatic(i'm brazilian... what can i say?) But I also like to watch or talk about many kinds of sports. Food - Since i've been here i was able to develop this hobbie of tasting typical food from different countries, that the students themselves can do. Who in this world doesn't love eating?Films - I'm also a big fan of movies, please feel free to show me some that you like and I'll do the sameOther than that I believe I enjoy talking preety much about any subject, if you are interested in trying to understand anything through the views of an uncommon brazilian guy, get to know me!
