Hi, my name is Cristian Vinicius Rocha Procopio.

I'm going to Dublin in September to learn to speak English, and I also want to work during the time I'll be there. This is the first time I travel to another country alone. My only experience abroad was in 2015, when I went with my father to some European countries to help him in his musical work. I visited Madrid, Porto, Amsterdam and Bonn. I am 23 years old and I have an 1 year and 8 month old son that is my passion. Anyone who can help me for a few days or weeks with accommodation, I can offer back services such as lawn mowing, caring for elderly people, painting, cleaning, taking dogs for a ride or any other function. I have worked as a caregiver for the elderly in Brazil and it was an incredible experience. I have experience working as a bartender mainly making the favorite drink of the Brazilians, the famous caipirinha! In fact I intend to take some bottles of our cachaça to Dublin. I love knowing new places and having new friendships. My exchange will take 6 months. If I get adapted and everything works out, I intend to stay for another 6 months, completing 1 year in Ireland to improve my English and to return to my country speaking English fluently. I like to do exercises, trails, all kinds of sports. Cycling is also a passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in couchsurfing because I will do an exchange to Australia, and I intend to exchange experiences with nice people and meet nice people, from outside my country and be able to show the Brazilian culture to outsiders.
