About Me

CURRENTLY LIVING AND STUDYING IN PORTUGAL

Well I've never been very good at self-marketing and i dont want to start by telling you what I do for a living because i don't believe that one's job is what defines who they are (this is not LinkedIn). I was born and raised in Rio, Brazil, before it became popular for the world cup and olympics. I learned with my people to appreciate the good things in life even when you go through hard times. That's why we Brazilians always have a smile on our face. We reckon that there's a lot to improve in our country but we still keep a positive attitude. I think i could say I'm a typical Brazilian in that sense, but if you ask me about soccer or samba, all I can do is tell you about the good players or dancers, but don't expect me to show off any soccer tricks or samba moves, sorry to disappoint. I'm very interested in meeting new people and learning about their lives and culture much more than seeing tourist attractions and things like that. I've been on the road since February 2016, it's been a great experience so far. I plan to keep traveling as long as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the places I visit through the eyes of the locals and have a better idea of the culture and customs of each place. I dont wanna be just a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and started traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My laughs and good vibes, my travel stories, things that ive seen and experienced. I can also make a very good risotto. I can show them good Brazilian music, teach them some English, Portuguese or Spanish, and if that's too boring, i could bring them a bottle of wine or chocolate.
