I'm 40 years old and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro.
When I was 17, I moved to West Virginia in the United States. I lived in a very small city, with a culture very different from Rio de Janeiro and everything I had ever lived.
I consider this one of the most fantastic experiences of my life.

I love meeting people, sharing experiences, building things together.
I love doing volunteer work.
I have a degree in business administration, but my professional experience was developed in the management of social projects of companies and NGOs.

I love doing outdoor activities: surfing, biking, trails, beach, ...
I have been married for 10 years and have two daughters, for whom I am in love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is an opportunity to meet people from other cultures and countries.

Usually these people are open to dialogue, exchanges of experiences.

It will be a pleasure to meet them and show the beauties and curiosities of Rio de Janeiro.
A wonderful city replete with social and economic contradictions.
