About Me

Lucky, laid-back guy who loves travelling, writing, reading, football, films, music, making terrible jokes and avoiding having to think too much when it comes to writing 'About Me' blurbs.

I have lived in the three countries that start with the word "United".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently moved to Rio de Janeiro and looking to make some friends to hang out with, go to the beach, movies, play football, volleyball, visit restaurants, explore the city.

E se eles são brasileiros, então eu posso practicar meu portugues também - melhor!
