About Me

It's 2022, I've taken 3 Covid vaccines and I'm ready and need to meet people and see the world again. I'll be back on the road in May... France, Germany...

I'm a very laid back Brazilian who loves pizza, sports, music, beach, sun, nature... Meeting people and learning about their culture, making good friends around the world and coming to visit them later on :P, learning languages and of course, traveling. I went through uni, got a degree in Electrical Computer Engineering, worked for a bit... I think that the lack of human interaction on it was one of the reasons that made me start this journey.

Been getting waaaaay to many requests of people who just copy and paste the same message to everyone... I saw this technique while traveling in Europe and Africa, so I'll be doing the same from now on!! Dalila and Athenas are my dogs, please write their names on your request, otherwise... Well, if you took the time to read this far, there's a great chance I'm gonna host you, at the very least I'll reply you back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After the first two couches I surfed I saw how awesome and FUN it's to know someone anywhere I go. I also got to host, and it was an amazing experience being the one knowing the place and taking some new friends to explore it. So far I've been really lucky, all the people I've met trough CS are such fantastic people. Learned a lot with them, hopefully taught them as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pretty much anything... From rock to reggaeton, worldwide.

Movies: I love laughing, so comedies are the main stream, but I also like Sci-Fi, and movies like Lucy are the best ones in my opinion!

Books: Not a big fun... I'm a people person, I'd rather chat for hours than read a book. Books are great, but seeing the body language when talking about an experience is much more fulfilling.
Over my university's year I got really good grades paying more attention to the professor/class than in the books... Maybe I'm just a great listener :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled almost all the Brazilian coast at one go;
Got a scholarship to study in the US for over a year;
Bungee jumped of the third highest bungee bridge in the world;
White water rafted on the Zambezi River;
Backpacked in Southeast Africa for over 9 months;
Spent over 1,5 years backpacking;
Survived the Covid-19 Pandemic;
More to come, hopefully...

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything and everything I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a really easygoing guy, with an easy smile. There will definitely be some laughing and hopefully we'll have a great time... I've also had some crazy / funny experiences while traveling, would be a pleasure to share some of them... I'm getting into cooking (very beginner still), could try to prepare some Brazilian dishes/deserts!?
