About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn something and have fun doing it

ABOUT ME

My wife and I just moved to Maputo from Curitiba, Brazil where we lived for the past three years. We're adjusting to our new life here and exploring the city of Maputo. Before moving to Brazil, we lived in Lisbon, Portugal for two years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some other CouchSurfers on a trip to Ireland and have attended the frequent CS happy hours in Curitiba where I met some interesting people.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, learning languages, good food, soccer, coffee shops and politics. I`m a Computer Engineer by training and occupation and enjoy working with computers. My current personal project is a book trading site called Chango Books: http://www.changobooks.com
