I'm an architect and urbanist that made graduation in Brasil and master of Urban and Regional Planning in Portugal. That's relevant cause I really like nice buildings and interesting cities.
I also really like to bike everywhere and to feel and see the wonders of nature, just as much as the interesting things about history and culture of places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Couchsurfing cause I'm interested in meeting new people and feel the places I visit not just as a tourist, but as a local (and I hope, accompanied by one). Discover and present the great places that are in and outside travel guides and make good friends everywhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I made an alternative project for a viaduct that would destroy part of my city main urban natural park. This alternative was published nationally and many people who opposed the viaduct used it as a main symbol for the protection of the park.
Another time I was the main coordinator and organizer of Fortaleza SOUP, the local version in my city of Detroit SOUP, a dinner where people pay really cheap to have music, food and to watch presentation of ideas. At the end, they vote in their prefered ideas and the most voted gets all money collected with entrances.
