About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Kind of lost now... But hopefully I will find my way soon again!!! ;-)

ABOUT ME

There are somethings that everybody needs to know about me before trying to contact me for any reasons. First of all, I'm gay!!! It's not an option, it's a fact! Continuing, I'm Brazilian, I love my country and the thing I love the most is traveling. I hate any kinds of prejudice and I am a very "open minded" person, which means that I have many different types of friends and I respect all of them regardless of their preferences. I'm a night boy. I enjoy partying hard, starting around midnight and just heading back home around midday when it is possible and when I do not get tired. I love Electronic Music (Minimal, House, Lounge etc.), which means that I'm always looking for good clubs to go. I also love beaches and the sun. If possible, I'd go to some beach once a day to get a sun tan! I love sports, but soccer is not my thing, although I'm Brazilian. So, if you want to talk about Basketball and mainly Handball, I'm gonna love it much more! I love to get to know new cultures and specially introduce my culture. Once you're in Recife, I'll be more than happy to teach and show you as much as I can about my city. Once I travel to any other places, I try to get to know them as well as I can; which means I love taking tours around the cities, visiting some museums and being part of some local parties. I love languages and specially learning new things. So, people from all around the world are very welcome. If you feel that we are compatible, contact me. It will be my pleasure to get to know you!

PHILOSOPHY

"I live in a different world, where people are free and the prejudice is gone!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, Hosting, Helping... But be aware that I am no FREE HOTEL/HOSTEL!!! If you are planning to send me a CouchRequest, I expect you to at least read my ENTIRE PROFILE (the left and the right parts), and explain to me what we have in common and why it would be interesting to have you around. I'm not asking much, am I?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed MANY couches and I also hosted some people before really getting the CouchSurfing felling. I just wanted to be as good as people were to me and try to offer all the kindness I am able to provide. Every time I got in contact with CouchSurfers, I had an amazing time!!! =D

P.S.: Now I don't live in Recife anymore, but in Berlin (Germany). You are welcome to contact me anyway to ask me for tips and recommendations about my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:

I can teach you Brazilian history and Brazilian culture... Which means you're gonna learn how to make some Caipirinha if we have the ingredients we need and how to cook some simple things! I can also teach you Portuguese and all the other languages I'm able to speak!

Learn:

I'd like to learn about everything... Culture, music, history, languages and specially cooking if possible!

Share:

Happiness... Friendship... Love... I'm a very positive guy!!! =D
