My name is Felipe, I'm a 21 years old guy from Brazil. I live in Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina, where I study and work. In the city I have lots of friends, with whom I spend most of my freetime. The city offers lots of different options of entertainment, from parties to beaches, from restaurants to bars, from hikes to malls.

I'm an easy going guy who loves to meet new people, have a good time and talk, share moments, experiences and knowledge, making sure that everyone has an amazing and fun experience.

I work with fashion photography, but I also work with marketing strategies for companies.

Fun fact about me: I'm a veeeery tall guy, I'm 198cm (or 6'6").

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want to help others the same way people have helped me abroad.

I also want to meet new people, share moments and make new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm interested in indie music, same as techno, rock, Brazilian music and any other kind of music to be honest. I usually read books about anthropology, politics and sociology. When talking about movies I'm all about drama or any independent film production (not a Hollywood fan).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done an amazing trip to Jamaica when I was 16, that was the first time I've traveled by myself outside of Brazil. I've done a short term exchange program in Jamaica and Curacao, where I stayed half of the time in Jamaica and then I went to Curacao. It was an amazing, because I had the chance to experience the Caribbean in a whole different way, I stayed at a family's house and got to see and live with them for a month.

I have also done a long term exchange program with Rotary to Canada back in 2015, that was also amazing and special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach others how to photograph either fashion, portrait or landscapes. How to get your camera set up and how to take amazing photos using the Manual Mode on your camera.
I can also teach you Brazilian Portuguese!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a couch and an extra mattress with pillows and blanket. The bathroom from the apartment is also available for the guests, of course, same with the kitchen.

I live with two other friends, and they're both super chill about everything!
