About Me

Brazilian guy currently living in Barcelona, Spain. Passionate about cooking, trying my best to delight my fellow mates :)

Currently working in tech in Spain, also lived in Düsseldorf (Germany), Gent (Belgium) and Manchester (UK). I’m originally from São Paulo, Brazil.

I’m highly interested in activities like traveling, hiking, camping, biking and road trips. I’m pretty much a nerd in geography, urbanism, flags, geopolitics, general curiosities and so on.

I’m always up for a beer, a casual meet up, to hear and learn from people and of course always have a good laugh.

I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish. I can understand basics of Italian and French and I’m trying my best to learn German lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted and I was hosted so many times during my time in Belgium, always with amazing experiences. Also when I was back to São Paulo, I had many spontaneous meet ups with unknown people what were so cool that I decided to come back here (and pay for it lol)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Brazilian music from Samba and Bossa Nova to the newest hits. I’m also a 80s and 90s Hip Hop fan. I’m always up for recommendations of good books and movies. I spend way too much time reading about history and real world curiosities. Fantasy is always great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

30 day road trip across the Balkans with no plan

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach something about cooking, photography, Brazilian culture. I’d love to learn anything new if the teacher talks excitedly about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and I do it with all my heart. Dietary restrictions are a nice challenge to myself, I embrace it! Also I like to bring good wine or (Belgian) beers if it pleases the hosts. Normally I like to talk, get to know each other and eventually go out to spend some time together and see the city from an insider perspective
