Hello everyone, João here coming all the way from the sunny and wonderful Rio de Janeiro! A 22 year-old half Spanish half Brazilian digital nomad, exploring the world one corner at a time and eager to learn from new experiences. Other than Portuguese and Spanish I’m also fluent in English and on my way to learning French, maybe you can help? :) I’ve been told I have a great sense of humor and that I’m easy to talk to, qualities that you can check out yourself!

All jokes aside I’m an open-minded guy ready to discover so much more about the world and I really think that couchsurfing can make my experiences more genuine.

As I said I’m a digital nomad and you’re more than welcome to check my profile and say “hello”, I’m friendly and open to new contacts.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Since I’ve learned that this is the best way of getting to know the reality of living in different places. I’m all about the real experiences and not only doing whatever is considered touristy. I want to learn more and more everyday about culture and people’s lifestyles in all places.

Centres d'intérêt

I’m passionate about knowledge, reading as much as I can, talking to strangers and turning them into friends, life, nature, photography and having a beer, of course.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

My first International trip was the most amazing things I had done for a while in my life. I visited Paris, Rome and Santiago de Compostela this was when I discovered what I want to all my life: being a traveler.

Recently I traveled to Morocco and spend a night in the desert of Sahara and this was the craziest thing I have done. I have slept in the desert and I got to see the sky shining brightly. Its was amazing!! Those things don’t even begin to describe what my life has been like for the past year, the stories are endless and incredible.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I’m pretty good at playing the ukulele and I can share my self-taught musical talent. I can cook some Brazilian food and teach you the hidden gems about traveling better/longer.
