About Me

A friendly, talkative and open-minded guy, born and raised in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

If you have any sort of gender, religious, socioeconomic, ethnic and, of course, racial prejudice, don't waste my time. 🙄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I started using CS, I wanted to save money. Soon, I realized how incredible this tool can be to get to know awesome, intelligent and interesting people.

Interests

- Knowing peoples around the world;
- Practicing the languages that I'm learning;
- Hanging out, dancing and having a lot of fun!

  • dancing
  • beer
  • drinking
  • clubbing
  • eating out
  • soccer
  • international relations
  • talking
  • walking around
  • live concerts

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a favorite music, but I can list some singers and groups that I love to listen to, such as Ben L'Oncle Soul (Soul), Ray Charles (Blues), Legião Urbana (Rock/Pop) and etc... But in the most part of the time, I'm listening Samba, Funk and Pagode!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016, after submitting my last assignment, I bought a ticket to Norway without book any place to stay. Then, I decided to join a CouchSurfing Christmas party, where I spent that date with more than 30 people I have never seen before.

That was my best Christmas ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Carnival/Samba lover, so this is something I must share my knowledge with you, mainly to undo the hypersexualized vision that people usually have about it!

My mother tongue is Portuguese, so at least the bad words I can teach you! ;)

Good conversations and beers are things that I am always willing to share...

I'm also very interest in knowing some words in your language, fun and exciting stories about you, your political, socioeconomic and academic background, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time, beer, an amazing night at a bar or dance club!
