Hey there!

I'm Gustavo, from São Paulo, Brazil. I live and work in this city and am willing to know new people everyday. It has been eight years since I moved from the countryside to here and all I can say about this period is that São Paulo is just an amazing city! There are thousands of places to know, a lot of different people, cultural activities and - my personal favorites - the best places to eat!

My life here is quite simple, I live with a roommate, work as a New Business Analyst at Whirlpool Corp and spend most of my free time enjoying what my city has to offer (going out with friends to eat and drink, attending cultural events, discovering new places)

I'm in a constant (and kinda hard) struggle to improve myself as a person, opening my mind to new ideas, putting myself in different situations, losing all my prejudices (one by one!) to really become a improved human being. You are really welcome to join me in this pursuit by introducing me to new cultures, points of view, stories...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and lots of places =)

I'm opening my house to host people and also intend to know some of you in my own vacation trips

Interests

I love to cook, read, travel (that's mandatory here, right?) and to talk about everything.

• womens rights
• cooking
• drinking
• politics
• traveling
• magic
• music
• business

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - I just love them, it is hard to pick a favorite! But what comes to mind is Saramago, Garcia Marques, Tolkien, Umberto Eco, Tolstoi, Italo Calvino, George Martin....

Music - I love to hear brazilian popular music (Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Vinicius de Moraes) but I do like to know different styles and new sounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a pretty amazing EuroTrip, best experience ever!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you everything about Brazil, our culture, music, social condition, politics... Also, I'm really able to perform some magic in the kitchen, so you can expect to eat a lot if you want :)
