About Me

Um cara sossegado que gosta de viagens, aventuras na natureza e de um café preguiçoso em cantinhos escondidos. Sou curioso, gosto de gente simples e autêntica e de conversar sobre tudo.
Easygoing guy who likes travelling, outdoor adventures and a lazy coffee in small hidden places. I like simple, authentic people. I'm curious and enjoy a good conversation about anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Conhecer pessoas com vidas diferentes da minha é sempre um prazer e uma fonte de aprendizado. Além disso, moro em uma cidade linda, com muita natureza em volta e gosto de apresentar lugares legais a quem curte.
Meeting people from different walks of life is always a good way to learn and enjoy life. Besides this, I live in a beautiful city with wonderful nature around. Its a pleasure to show nice places to those who appreciate.

Interests

Gosto de espaços abertos, de sol, cachoeiras, florestas e do mar. Gosto também da vida cultural e social das cidades. Uma boa comidinha, uma taça de vinho e um bom papo estão sempre nas minhas prioridades.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Acho que sou um bom contador de histórias e Brasília tem várias histórias que pouca gente conhece. Nos últimos trinta anos morei em nove estados brasileiros e conheci umas 200 cidades. Então, tenho boas dicas para os viajantes.
I'm a good storyteller, and the city of Brasília has amazing unknown stories.
In the last thirty years I've lived in nine different states and visited nearly 200 cities in Brazil. So I have a couple of good hints for travellers.
