About Me

I'm a brazilian guy, living in Barcelona right now with my wife.

After a year travelling and living in hostels exchanging work for accommodation, now I decided to stay fixed here and travel from here.

I love meeting new people, cultures and hanging out. Like to have a couple beers in the and of the day, a nice movie/serie and always enjoy a nice talking.

Love pets, beach, tattoos, arts in general and rock. \,,/

Unfortunately, I'm a meat lover. Despite the fact that I hate how companies treats the animals, I must be honest and say that I like a nice steak in my plate.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do with the other, what you don't want to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have created my profile years ago, but never used indeed.

I think at that time, I was not mature enough for that, too young. Now, after all this experiences, I believe it's time to!

Unfortunately I'm not able to receive people to take a nap at my couch at now, but I'm working on that for the near future.

But I deeply believe that the exchange experience from people around the world is something unique. Always try to meet people and put that on work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my exchange in Mexico, me and the three Brazilians who were with me over there, decided to rent a car and travel to a beach during Holy Week. As a routine, I made a route on Google Maps, as we were in a place where evil we left the neighborhood, to drive across states in a 10 hour trip. The place where we toke the car was at the airport (so I put as the beginning of the route). The first surprise came fast. At the airport, they put us in a van and took us to a garage. After all bureaucratic procedure, I went out driving and I realized I had no idea which way do. I made some attempts to find me in vain. We began to ask people on the street, finally a policeman showed us a route, I presumed that was different from what was planned, but we got no options. The 10 hours trip became a 20 hour driving, passing through all kinds of landscape. Endless cactus, burned car, people being transported in trucks bucket, trucks crowded of pigs. Not to mention the 4-hour winding mountain and abyss side, in the middle of nowhere, without any light, cellular signal or any possibility of life (saved some rare and tiny villages). After several adventures in this path (really!) Finally arrived at the destination and went to the hostel where we made reservations, we deserved and need to rest. Well, maybe if it was open. As delayed "a bit", the official left. After a long time searching we found a place to spend the night and then enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches we have visited so far. We didn't know Puerto Escondido was so well hidden ...
