I was born and raised in the interior of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, and now I am an undergraduate student in Modern Japanese Studies at Hokkaido University, in the Japanese northernmost island.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that travels create bonds between people, and because of this I'm looking forward to stumble across new people for a drink, a cafe, share some food or even an all-day walk in the cities I visit.

Interests

The first thing I do in any city after sorting out a place for my luggage is to walk as much as I can, so I can get an idea of how the city works. It's funny to say that, but I just learned how to bike properly 2 years ago, and ever since, whenever there is no snow on the streets, I just roam around with my bicycle.

Dance half-naked in the rain with my university's Yosakoi team in a four-day traditional dance festival in my first year of university in Japan.
