My name is Gabriel, I'm 27 years old, Brazilian, and I have a bachelor in economics in a federal University in Brazil. Since the age 7 I have been engaged in music theory, and have mastered the flute. After finishing University, I came back to my hometown and started working at a consulting company, while also studying electronic music production. At 25, I left my job and started working at a local place called Gnu, a bar and studio in my hometown. I helped them develop an event schedule and managed the bar and food supplies in order to fulfill the demand during the working days. After this period, I spent 6 months working for an NGO that provided free brass instruments classes for vulnerable children, and that really gave meaning to my life. After that, I joined my father on a 6 month trip around Europe and Asia. We crossed Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Pakistan and now India, and, during this period, I had the chance to know many different cultures and social values. Now I'm looking to stay in India for 3 months and do some voluntary work in Goa, before returning to Brazil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share my experiences travelling in the last 6 months and also learn something new every day. I also want to get to know different people, places and cultures, and improve myself based on spending quality with other people.

Interests

I'm a curious person, I love to acquire new knowledge and know different cultures and and people. Music and Technology have been my biggest interests in the last years, but I am a really easy going person and can talk about anything. I am flexible about basically anything, and I'm willing to help make the place where I stay better and happier :)
