I’m a friendly guy who likes to meet new people (although I can look very shy at first sight) and get to know different places. Oh, did I already say I’m quite tidy and clean?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet and share good things with people from around the world (I bet you’ll love my “caipirinha” or my “brigadeiro”).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a bus and crossed the Andes, from Argentina to Chile, all by myself. Also, I published my first text on a local newspaper when I was on the 5th grade (at least my mom was proud of that…).

Teach, Learn, Share

• Teach: Portuguese and how to spend your time on the internet.
• Learn: speaking new languages and cooking local dishes.
• Share: whatever I can share, for real! Just ask me :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I work as writer and editor, so I can teach a lot about Portuguese. And since I’m really into music, we could listen to a bunch of good things together.
