About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn. With other people, from other cultures, with different objetives than mine. Meeting people and amplify my horizons. Taste other tastes, learn different languages and walk trhough new and unexpected places.

ABOUT ME

A brazilian guy who loves the planet and specıally people. It actually doens´t matter so much the place ıf you´re wıth ınteresting people. I prefer to be hours looking at a map and imagining about places around the world rather than watch a new TV serie. I don't hate TV series, but I get really excited about the possibilities of being around the globe and meeting new people and cultures.
Just got my diplom of journalist, but I've been working with advertising for 3 years and love it!
I can speak portuguese, english, french, italian and spanish.
Now I'm doing an around the world trip, wich started in april 2008 and ending in june 2009. And really would like to couch surf around everyone´s house!
Let's meet!

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd really like to receive someone home soon, but as I am in my tour it's kind of hard today. So I really compromise about receiving people at home as soon as I get back in 2009. This means you´ll have time to plan your next trip to Brazil!
