I'm the owner of my consultancy firm, active in São Paulo, Brazil, and have launched a serial number of startups. I have been around the world quite a few times, for work and for pleasure. I'm 6-8" tall, I don't smoke at all. I play the guitar and used to have a band, as a matter of fact my first years in college were afforded by this! I love rock, blues and jazz, and have a weakness in dedicating myself too much to good cuisine and trips. I'm a father of 2 kids, Alexandre and Isabella. I'm very organized - I like everything to be in its place. My goal is to get to know as many places an people as I can, and, so far, I'm achieving it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every time I travel, for business or for pleasure, I love staying a bit longer than planned. That works specially on business trips, when I get the chance to stay a few more days and enjoy the place properly! The mindset is pretty simple: a place to lay down, good folks to talk to, lots of walking around and interacting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, blues and rock keep on rolling in my iPod at all times. Every time Forrest Gump of The Godfather is on TV, I'm watching. Can't get enough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In November 2014 I was a business trip in San Francisco. I had nearly 10 days to enjoy what was left of it. I rented a Camaro and drove down Highway 1 thru Big Sur. No plans at all: I'd stop and stayed where I felt like doing so. It was the best not planned trip ever. I not only could enjoy places, I got to know tons of different people and live within the lifestyle of each place. Silicon Valley, LA, San Diego, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, little lodges down Big Sur. Unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a business consultant, a serial entrepreneur, always keen to listen to one's stories and points of view and sharing my own as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been around. I consider myself outgoing, and I love to share my experiences and breathe in stories and tales from anyone. I'm curious and I believe the best lessons and good stories in life come from the real world and real people.
