About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the diversity of cultures by interacting with people from all over the world. (tasting their cuisine is a plus)

ABOUT ME

I'm from Brazil but moved to Cape Town due to a job offer to work at Amazon as a Software Engineer.
I'm still getting to know the city and having friends to do that together would be outstanding!

Coming back to my home town in Brazil and opening a pub is a dream I wish to accomplish.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy yourself.
It's possible to find happiness in the most silly things around you.
It can't rain all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about the community back when I was living in Dublin and promptly adored the idea! I was a host there and had a few meetings with the members.

Now I'm willing to contribute by having people over my place here in Cape Town and sharing experiences with them.

Interests

Well, I'm around 80% geek, so I appreciate several technology related stuff, gadgets, development, and so on.

I consume a lot of pop culture as well, such as movies, tv shows, music and enjoy being tuned in these subjects.

I also enjoy a nice time at the bar, chatting about any possible subject.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm reading something all the time, mostly fiction, thrillers or fantasy.
Also, I'm kinda addicted in movies and tv shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm amazed every day with life itself and the way people interact with each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know something about programming.

Also, I have a technique for peeling a lime using a spoon. That's very useful when preparing a "Caipirinha".

I read a lot and try to keep up with what's going on in the world.
