I'm a Brazilian living in Budapest. I really enjoy travelling and getting to know people with different cultures. I'm easy-going and pretty social, so it's quite easy for me to make new friends. I really value freedom, democracy and mutual respect, and I often question authority.

I'm sometimes vegetarian, I have ups and downs periods. Overall I really identify myself with green culture, and I love going to nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to receive people, hear their stories, go for a walk in the beautiful city of Budapest. It's just a lot of fun to meet random people from different countries.

Interests

I like photographing! Here's my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/65709325@N04/

I also like to do yoga, slackline, camping, exploring new places, vegetarian food, meditation, IT, biking, hiking, exploring again, meeting new people. I'm always thinking about the next journey.

I also like cooking [when I have the time].

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family hosted two exchange students back in 2003 (3 months, from Turkey) and 2006 (11 months, from Belgium). I still get in touch with my Belgium sister.

I went to Toronto (2011) for a six week English course and ended up staying for a whole year there. There I lived in an alternative movie Theater, The Cineforum. I met all kinds of great people/travelers/artists there.

I had lived in Sweden as an exchange student for one year. That year I traveled to a lot of different places, lived great adventures, met awesome people, and learned a lot about Embedded Systems, which is the field I work with today.

I have traveled twice to Chapada Diamantina, a heaven on earth in Brazil.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about photographing and programming languages/computers. I really like doing these two things.

I also "can teach" yoga and slackline!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, be a nice guest, try to make you smile, and maybe cook something for you :).

If you read all my profile, start the couch request saying "mushroom".
