About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Run for my life

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly guy, with a good sense of humour, respectful but I like going out, travelling and meeting people. I am interested for politics, for sports and learning about random things too.

PHILOSOPHY

"La vie est absurde."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Italy... It was awesome! Castelnouvo di Porto is a wonderful little village!

I've also hosted a couple of Italians and an American girl while I was living in Lyon.

After that, I couchsurfed in France: first in Lille, Bordeaux and Toulouse. In a second opportunity, I visited Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Nice: all through CS!

But nothing compares to the time I backpacked in Central Europe. It was almost 30 days mostly couchsurfing.

Now I've been hosting people at my place, in São Paulo, and I couchsurfed in Recife/Olinda. It's been great so far.
