Hi! My name is João and I'm from Brazil. I live in a small city called Vitória.

I consider myself as a really polite, clean and easy going person.
I love travelling, listening to music, hiking, biking, camping, meeting new people, cultures, places, and food! I'm not a great cook, but I love cooking! And of course, I LOVE drinking coffee. And beer, of course.
I've been to quite some places in Europe, North America and Latin America.
My dream is to know Patagonia and Southeast Asia. I've met a lot of people that had some great experiences in those places.

My next trip will be in January 2020. I'm going to Argentina and Uruguay, and I'm so excited! I love the warmth and passion of the people of our continent!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and to meet new people, so I think this is a great oportunity to get to know real/local people and learn their culture, as it should be, face to face, talking and sharing experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love brazilian music, like MPB, bossa nova and samba. I also love rock, indie, alternative, folk and reggae.
Movies: mystery, thriller, action, psycological thriller, drama and horror.
Books: I spent a while not reading anything interesting, but I rediscovered that passion lately! I'm current reading Carl Jung's "O Homem e seus Símbolos" and I'm loving every bit of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While backpacking through some countries in South America I biked to Valle de la Muerte, close to San Pedro de Atacama, and watched the sunset with some friends I made on that trip. We stood there, quiet, by ourselves. That moment was magical and unique in my life. There, I realised how nature is beautiful and perfect, and how small and privileged we are to be a part of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share with you my travel experiences. I would also love to learn a bit of any new language you would be willing to teach me, and teach you mine in return. I could also cook to you. As I said, I'm not great, but I try! haha
