Hi! I' m an Brazilian student of Architecture and Urban Design staying in Portugal for half an year doing Erasmus. I want to discover all that I can during the period that I'm here, travelling as much as possible, since I live in Rio de Janeiro, and travelling to Europe from Brazil is usually very expensive.
I currently live with a few Portuguese people, and I love learning from them and exchanging experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always liked to meet people from different places and I strongly believe this kind of program is a great opportunity to do so. I come from a very diverse environment, since my family is Argentine, Italian and Brazilian, and I can adapt very well to new scenarios. I believe life is about sharing, so there's no reason why during a trip we should be by ourselves in hotel rooms, and since I really like travelling by myself, I think it would be great to meet local people and be helpful.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like alternative rock, indie rock, folk, blues, jazz and so on.
As far as movies go, I like from blockbusters to very philosophic and strange movies.
I usually spend more time drawing them readind, but I'm a fan of some classics, like Hemingway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a scholarship to study Architecture in Rio and my university enabled me to do this exchange program in Portugal, and it's been amazing to stay alone in a new country, away from my comfort zone and getting to know myself as much as others. I've done some travelling already, and I hope to do a lot more and enriching this experience as much as I can.

Teach, Learn, Share

Architecture, drawing, History, and cultural diversity. I hope to be able to learn a little bit of the place that I'm staying by a local point of view, understanding a a little more about what it is like to like somewhere else.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humor, sympathy and cultural exchange.
I can bring a perspective of what is it like to live in Brazil, specially in Rio de Janeiro, and also my experience in Portugal and in Texas.
