My name is Joao and my passion is the nature. For me nothing is better than a dive in the sea, or a bath of river or waterfall.
Born in Sao Paulo however, I learned how to handle with big cities and one good thing is that I can get along well with different kinds of people.
I don't care about confort or wealthy and I rather instead a good conversation and a relaxing watch of the trees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to travel around the world. It makes possible to meet new people, new cultures and new places. Furthermore couchsurfing, instead of exchanging money you exchange exclusively kindness and experiences, making possible to all people come to visit you. It creates a wonderful network that I believe bring only wellness for everybody involved.
