I'm João, an 26 years old adman that loves criativity and what is new. I live in Fortaleza, a beach city in Brazil, and every day is a new moment to know things and to (re)discover life.

I'm a little bit workaholic, so when I'm on vacation is a passion to travel and know people. For me, is better an urban place than a totally nature place - but I love beaches.

About to cook, I know how to make some typical food from my state. It asks some ingredients that you just can find here, but when I travel I take them with me.

About job, at this moment I'm working for the Government and for an Ads Agency too. I'm starting my own business (digital marketing) that attends 5 healthy and aesthetic companies. In resume, my activities are social media, digital marketing and graphic editorial designer.

I have a weekly post in a big newspaper of my state, writting about news and trends in general. Sometimes I record to a tv program too, talking about fashion, lifestyle and these type of things. I use my Instagram like a personal business account to divulgate all these jobs in the media (@joaomaropo).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested to know people and discover new places with a point of view about who lives there. When I travel alone I think that is more easy to feel comfortable.
