Hello, I'm Daniel, a nice guy from Brazil. Graduate journalist, but not by definition. I like pretty much everything that is related to travel, sports, dogs, photography, bike and innovation.

Friends used to say that I'm relaxed, patient and easy-going. Well, I think I can agree with that. I also consider myself someone very curious about life, world, cultures, languages and different people.

Now, I'm in the middle of a "life-break" around the world. I can say is the "Time Of My Life".

Since July/15, I've been in several different cities like NYC, London, Amsterdan, Copenhagen, Berlin, Rome, Dubrovnik, Zagreb, Barcelona, Porto, Beijing, Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

I'm currently in Bali, Indonesia.

Before I decide to travel the world, I've had the chance to meet amazing places in Germany, France, Spain and Portugal, and live in California for a few months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's very nice when you have opportunities to be with people from different places, with different ways of thinking.

Since July, I have tested many ways of hosting and the most enriching certainly are when you have the company of a local resident.

Besides being an excellent example of shareable economy, Couchsurfing has this huge advantage of being able to put together interesting people. I love the whole concept!

Interests

As I said before, I love travel, sports, photography, bike and issues related to innovation. I also enjoy reading and being in the company of friends and family.

In the last months, besides to photograph the most beautiful places, I have taken my time writing about travel in my website (www.tripnova.com.br). Even if you can't read in Portuguese, just take a look.

Did I mention I like Photography? You can check on my pics on Instagram (www.instagram.com/danielgois).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I'm doing right now! I really believe that a trip around the world will always be a unique moment in anyone's life.

It's an incredible chance to meet new people, find out that your opinion is just another one and that there is wonderful people out there, everywhere.
