I was born and raised in the bird-like designed city Brasília, Brazil. Now I'm living in the US as an exchange student of aerospace engineering. Besides studies, I spend my time discovering new music, playing ping pong and tennis, and thinking about something to do next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being with a local while exploring new places gives us a better sense of immersion, improving the chances to a memorable trip . During exchange, I have a constraint time to experience as much possible and locals have the best tips on where to go, the best and cheapest places to eat and what to avoid.

Interests

Listening to music, traveling, hiking, and trying new foods are a big part of it... I advocate passion and dedication for short-term goals, like world domination (still working on it)
