I’m Éric, bor in October 1996. I'm 29 years old, 175 cm tall and weigh 65 kg.

I'm from Brazil, so English is not my first language.

I see myself as a positive and enthusiastic person. I try to surround myself with kindness and good energy.

In 2021 I graduated in Physical Education. In 2023, I stopped teaching cause I wasn't happy enough with my feelings as it was. Outside was everything going well.

So without having close people living abroad, I came to live in Ireland, to learn English and get to know new versions of life, or new versions of me, also known as Éric.

After studying English for two years, I had to choose between leaving Ireland or studying something else to be able to renew my student visa. As I decided to stay, I chose Science in Computing at CCT College.

As a student in Ireland, I'm allowed to work part-time. For a living, at the moment, I'm working as a stockist at a local supermarket called Morton's foodstore.

During this almost three years, I've travelled more, I've received my mom to spend some time together and to have her first trip to a different country.

I've also saved some money so I could buy a simple but still a house, that belonged to my grandad in Brazil.

In the end of the story, I've seen so many places and met so many lovely people. At the moment, I see myself happier, stronger, but still with not much money and some long time questions such as what to do for a living. I'd love to make my own money, but I haven't talked much about it and I haven't found people with the same purpose in life.

Based on that, hope we could connect somehow and have something to talk or share.

Meeting people is a hobby for me. I’m happy to be part of the Couchsurfing community!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

🌄

I ran a mountain ultra-marathon — a challenging and unforgettable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m open-minded and love embracing new experiences to grow.

Sharing stories and learning from others is very important to me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don’t cook, but I’m a good sous chef (or at least I like to pretend!). So... are you the chef?

I enjoy meaningful conversations and quality time.
☕️

Sometimes, it’s nice to go out and explore the city’s nightlife, or order food and relax — or even better, both!
