About Me

Atualmente divido meu tempo entre trabalhar na UFF e cursar o Doutorado na UERJ. Mas sempre aproveito as férias para conhecer outras cidades, mochilando ou de carro. Já visitei cidades de quase 30 países diferentes e acampei pelas trilhas mais bonitas da América Latina: Monte Roraima, Machu Picchu, Pico da Bandeira, entre outros, e fiz as travessias Petrópolis-Teresópolis e o Caminho do Ouro. Se quiser as dicas das melhores trilhas da região, como a Pedra do Elefante ou a Pedra da Gávea, fala comigo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We try to make friends on CouchSurfing, and not only host and be hosted. I love the spirit of the site, hope to receive enough travelers here in Niteroi and repay the times I was so well received in other countries.

Interests

I am a big fan of my country and the Latin American continent, I hope to help with travel tips here in Rio and Brazil. I like the place less crowded with tourists, far away from major urban centers, with nature and small villages.
I love beer, bars and public places rather than nightclubs. We can go out in Lapa, a large square in Rio de Janeiro free and full of people and bars, a square Cantareira, the same thing on a smaller scale in Niteroi.
