About Me

I am from Brazil, born in the big Sao Paulo and raised in the beautiful capital Brasilia. In the past 7 years I was living in Sao Paulo, now I am having the great experience of living in the Netherlands studying architecture! I consider myself a very easygoing guy and I´m very open to new experiences and to meeting new people! I love to talk! So I´m not the guy that will go in your house and just let you be, I´ll bombard you with questions and stories! Hahaha Just kidding, I can be quiet if you had a stressful day and don´t really want to talk much to the stranger sleeping in your couch! By the way, if you feel like sharing a beer, I´m always your guy! You can even wake me up and I´ll happily join! Another important thing: I am used to getting guests in my place, so I know the feeling of getting home and finding a battlefield in your living room. Some friends have the hobby of hiding the entire furniture behind their clothes! Even though trying to find your dog beneath your friend´s jeans can be fun, I try my best to keep my stuff very organized! Specially when I´m in someone else´s place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The thing that I enjoy the most in life in talking to people and sharing new and old experiences with them! They say that your personality is the average of your 5 or so closest friends. I think that it´s kind of true when you think about the way you talk and how you behave, but the way you think and see the world comes from the hundreds of great people that we meet along the way! My idea is to keep that list of people growing bigger and bigger. I think the perfect quote for this is the one from the movie Into the Wild: ``Happiness is only real when shared´´

Sharing is caring!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I travelled with a friend for three days in a boat with only locals through Brazil´s Amazon region (more than 1000km up the river, sleeping in hammocks). Amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try teaching some portuguese (if you don´t have time we can focus only on the good words!)
