I'm Jônatas a Brazilian who has been traveling the world for 8 years learning and teaching surfing and Jiu-Jitsu, I currently live in Europe where I spend most of the year in Portugal and surfing is what I most like to do in life, I do live the surf lifestyle that consists of health and well-being, respect for nature and being radical hahaha I like to cook healthy food, I'm almost always listening to music because it flows in my veins, always available for a new and good experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to connect with local people and be able to have a deeper experience being able to learn the culture and customs of each place because knowledge makes life easier , more understanding, it's power ! And off course bcuz it's a cheaper way , other ways if i have to pay nothing that could be possible lolol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

as a boy from a poor family coming from a small fishing village on the coast of Brazil, northeast where access is very limited, I came to be able to learn to speak English by myself and consequently travel the world this was without a doubt the most amazing thing I have achieved but also be part of the FIFA WORLD CUP 2014 AND OLIMPIC GAMES 2016 RIO.
I've seen some amazing things in this life, like a sea with perfect waves and seeing the wave wall standing on it is really amazing, but doing a trail inside the Amazon rainforest was something surreal.
