I'm a student living in Florianopolis, SC, Brazil. I'll be doing my masters program in International Security in UFSC starting in January. I love to travel, surf, hike, rock climb (especially bouldering), and learning languages.

I am fluent in Portuguese, and am re-learning Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really think that Couchsurfing is an awesome tool for vagabonding spirits who prefer the company of friends to a hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's difficult to pick one favorite book, movie and music. However, right off the top of my head:

Book: Sometimes a Great Notion, Ken Kesey

Movie: Before Sunrise

Music: Anything by Natiruts (Brazilian reggae)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dropped everything after graduating in the US and moved to Brazil to continue with my Brazilian girlfriend and start a new life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and teaching languages. I'm also extremely interested in Lifestyle Design - Tim Ferriss has been a huge role model for me. Really, anything I can learn or teach is something that interests me.

I'm open to any and all new experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an extremely open and friendly guest! I travel to experience a new culture, speak another language, and especially form lasting relationships. Don't get me wrong - I'm an extremely respectful guest.

In fact, I'd be happy to cook a delicious meal (hopefully one you've never tried) during my stay.
