Enjoy life, chill out, and be grateful...

Hi, I am Gabriel. I am from Brazil and I have been living in Raleigh, North Carolina for one year now. I am a civil engineer and I am currently a PhD student at North Carolina State University, where I work with asphalt materials.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met wonderful people through Couchsurfing and learned a lot from them. I love to learn about new cultures and CS is the best way to do that.

Interests

I enjoy talking with people, weightlifting at the gym, swimming, participate in outdoor activities such as kayaking, soccer, and hang out with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Foo Fighters is my favorite band, but I like all music genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in San Francisco. It was just unbelievable!

I went to the best concert of my life: Foo Fighters (Sonic Highways Tour, Atlanta, 2015).

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy playing tennis and I like to teach it to other people. I like to learn about many subjects, and the best way to learn even more is by sharing my knowledge and learning from others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, Brazilian culture, travel stories, Portuguese language... and maybe I can cook you some Brazilian dish!
