Hi, nice to meet you, Daniel!
I'm super chill guy, that likes to hang around, discover a little bit of each person's life and share good moments.
Most of my friends says I'm easy going and have a relaxing aura!
I was about to finish my graduation in Chemical Engineering and, then, decided that this is the right moment to travel around and get to know a little bit the world, so yeah, I don't have a home for some time.

Back at Rio, I was working at a engineering lab at the University and doing Pubcrawls. During my weekends, I spending some time at the beach, going for long bicycles rides, playing acoustic guitar, dancing, reading about anything, and, of course, travelling, I travelled a lot in Brazil, and I'm completed passionated about my country's culture, especially music. If you want to exchange music references, I'm the one that you are looking for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The memories that I kept of my first trip with couchsurfing are the great moments with amazing humans beings that I met just because of couchsurfing... It's such a rich experience, moments that's shaped me just a tiny bit.
People that I'll never forget.
I want it much more of it.
Also, I don't have much money :P

Interests

I've been playing acoustic guitar for 6 years, never had formal study, just to chill. Mainly brazilian music, but I used to be into heavy metal.

I hike a lot, beeing into the woods is something really spiritual to me. Beeing in front of something really big is also something that I don't know to explain.

I do a lot of cycling, I have one tattoo of a penny farting, an old bike. Yeah, bikes have changed my life a lot!

I like eating, but who doesn't?

• music
• outdoor activities
• hiking
• basketball
• food
• sport
• bicycle
• hiking in the mountains
