Hi!

My name is Gustavo, I'm married with Luciana. We have a 1yo kid and we're expecting another one :-)

I'm very fortunate to have a lovely family and numerous friends. I think I'm an easy going person. People say that I do not speak seriously. This is partly true -- I'm usually smiling, even if I'm talking about a serious think.

Although this is not that relevant, I graduated in computer science 10 years ago, and now I'm a CS professor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I often go to CS meetings when traveling. I also hosted some CSers in the past, but it happens to me be a suffer more frequently. Overall, all my experiences with CouchSurfing were great ones! I really like the meet-new-friends-on-the-road life style.

Now that I have two kids (1yo and another one to arrive next year), I do not participate that frequently.

Interests

I used to run a lot, but my knee does not allow me to run big distances anymore.
After running, I started practicing BJJ. I'm a blue belt (second belt).
I'm a professor and I love my profession. Staying in touch with young minds energizes me.
As any regular Brazilian, I like soccer, but I do not play very well. However, if happens to have a soccer gamer near by, please invite me.
I also enjoy reading and writing.
