Hello,

I live in Curitiba, southern Brazil, with my wife. I work at a TV station and my wife is a teacher of English.
I have a degree in Design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but since I can only do this on my vacation I believe couchsurfing is a way to interact and experience other cultures without traveling.

Interests

I am willing to meet people and different cultures (especially those that aren't in travel guides) abroad and also in my city.

I am not interested in hosting travelers who smoke, do drugs, and do other illegal things, let alone freeloaders.

I believe that couchsurfing is an exchange for good times and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very eclectic, but I have preference for rock and its various styles.
About movies and books, I prefer documentaries, some based-on-true-story and cult films, and CG movies also please me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many things that may have been amazing, at least for me.
I've gone kayaking around some islands close to my hometown;
I have traveled by bicycle; I've been on an island without a penny and I had to work to support me; and some wonderful trips to visit Machu Picchu for example!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm still new to couchsurfing in a matter of use! So I prefer to meet travelers in public spaces (sorry - but it's more comfortable for me for now), assisting on some itineraries and tours, having a snack, showing some places in town, for instance.
