About Me

As a Theoretical Physicist, I have the moral obligation to enjoy Philosophy, Computer Science, and Math, but I also enjoy a lot other areas such as Psychology, Linguistics, and Politics. However, I can easily go through the week without talking about any of those things and just enjoying a nice trip, having fun, playing, drinking, whatever. I love having new (and possibly crazy) experiences, doing extreme sports, and so on, but also love to just sit to play some card or board game with a couple of nice people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am well aware that this sounds cliché, but I'm really here to meet new people, visit new places, get to know more cultures... In Brazil, we don't have the opportunity to easily travel to another country as one has in Europe, so I intend (when my research allows me to take a break) to make the most out of my stay here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last great experience I had on a trip was doing scuba diving for the first time a couple of months ago, in Santorini, Greece. The only downside is that now I really want to get a certification to be able to dive deeper, and it is not cheap.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not a very specific answer, but I like to teach everything I know, actually. Part of my job is to teach, really. I'm ok with sharing any kind of experience I had, and I also really enjoy learning more from people with different experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I hope I can share a great time, going out, sightseeing, talking about random things in life, anything. And, again, I like to teach everything I know, and I'm ok with sharing any kind of experience I had.
