About Me

Welcome to my Couchsurfing profile!

I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil and now I'm living in Dublin. I love to travel and meet new people, and I'm always looking for opportunities to explore different cultures.

I live with my wife and sister-in-law, so unfortunately, I can only offer the couch to guests. However, I'm more than happy to share my space and provide a comfortable stay for anyone who is interested.

One thing that I particularly enjoy is talking about different perspectives on life. I'm open to discussing everything from philosophy to spirituality to personal growth. Feel free to bring any topic to the table if you like to talk.

When it comes to drinks, I enjoy both beer and wine. In fact, I'll be more than happy to share some drinks with you. It's a great way to have a new cultural experience together.

In addition to learning about different cultures and perspectives, I'm also a collector of coins and paper notes from around the world. If you're traveling to Dublin and have a coin or paper note from your home country, I would be thrilled to add it to my collection.

As a host, I understand that everyone has different needs and preferences. Some guests may want to chat and get to know me, while others may prefer to have more privacy. I'm comfortable with either scenario and I'm happy to accommodate your individual needs. However, I do ask that all guests respect the rules of the house and my family members.

If you're interested in staying with me, please send me a personalized message. While I understand that travelers may be busy, a generic or copied-and-pasted message is unlikely to receive a response. If you include the word "cervejinha" in your message, it will show me that you took the time to read my profile and have a better chance of being accepted.

Regarding stay duration, I'm open to hosting guests for as many days as they'd like. However, I find that a range of 3 to 6 days is usually the perfect amount of time for guests to experience Dublin and get to know me. That being said, I will consider one-night stays on a case-by-case basis. If you need to stay for only one night, please provide a reason for your request and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Lastly, I want to emphasize that my condo has a strict no-smoking policy. This policy applies to all parts of the condo, including balconies and any other dependencies. I request that all guests respect this rule and refrain from smoking during their stay.

I'm excited to meet new people through Couchsurfing and share my home with travelers from around the world.

Let's connect and have a great cultural exchange together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm excited to be a part of the Couchsurfing community. I've had some amazing experiences traveling and staying with locals, and I'm looking forward to giving back by hosting travelers in my home.

As a previous Couchsurfing traveler, I know how important it is to feel welcomed and at home in a new place. That's why I'm eager to open my doors and provide a comfortable space for guests to relax and enjoy their stay.

I'm especially interested in hosting guests from countries that I've never been to before, as I love learning about new cultures and perspectives. But really, I'm open to hosting anyone who shares my love of travel and adventure!

Overall, my goal is to create an environment that's warm, welcoming, and full of good conversation, laughter, and maybe even a pint or two! So, if you're looking for a friendly and welcoming place to stay in Dublin, please reach out, and let's chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to sharing meals and drinks, I enjoy introducing guests to some of my favorite spots in Dublin, whether that's a cozy pub, a scenic walking route, or a lesser-known cultural gem. I'm also happy to share my love of music, movies, and other forms of entertainment, and I'm always open to trying new things that my guests are passionate about. Whatever the activity, I find that the connections and conversations that come from these shared experiences are what make Couchsurfing truly special.
