IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE EFFORT OF READING THE PROFILE, I'LL REFUSE THE REQUEST - CS IS NOT CHEAP HOSTEL.

I'm a journalist and photographer grown up in Sao Paulo. I also have lived in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) and grew up traveling abroad with my stewardess mom and pilot dad.

Other hobbies I have:
Team Handball, Surfing, Playing Drums and talking with interesting people

PHILOSOPHY

I never made new friends drinking milk...

...but kept old ones drinking tea! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can I tell more than one?

Professionaly I've done was an article, with a dutch journalist friend, about a crack addict who lives in Cracolandia (a place in SP where drug comsumption is almost legalized). Years later I covered the War in Ukraine

Another nice story was traveling by car from São Paulo (Brasil) to Valparaiso (Chile), passing through Foz do Iguaçu, Colonia del Sacramento, Mendoza, etc... crossing the Andes is unforgetable. 8.000 km in one month
Other amazing stuff were scuba diving in Fernando de Noronha; Learning to fly airplanes; ; Jumping from 20m cliffs into the sea in Palma de Mallorca.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hope I can teach sometinhg about brazilian music, simpathy and hospitality; some about digital photography, drums and surfing too. I also can teach how to forget things when traveling, once i have a great experience with it...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch, blanks, towels and meals (I hope you cook, too!)
