ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing brazilian guy, who is into sports (preferably outdoors cause I love nature), music, a couple parties here and there, movies, books

Once I left Brazil to accomplish this dream of doing a long trip around the globe. During 21 months I had the opportunity to visit several countries, meet heaps of new people, eat vasts amount of different food and get mind blown by the most astonishing and diversed sites I could ever imagine stumbling upon. Of course it wasn't easy to get prepared financially and psychologically to do something like that, but I can also say it's doable to any person. I'm no special guy. I just had a goal and gave my best to make it happen.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself whatever the circumstances and play fair

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My hosting availability is marked as "wants to meet up", which isn't all true. I could host but first I want to meet up and see how things go. So don't hesitate to contact me.
Find me on facebook: /diogo.messinabarros.

Interests

I'm into outdoor activities, which includes: hiking mountains, volcanos, swimming in rivers, waterfalls, cliff diving and so on. I also like the cities, but wouldn't spend much time there.

I love to eat. I'm actually always eating and could go for anything. Indian and Mexican foods are my favorite though.

I wasn't a book reader at all, but I'm becoming one and actually loving it!
