CURRENT MISSION

Love changes lives...

ABOUT ME

I was away from home, for a very interesting 2 years almost 4 years ago. It was a great experience in which I've had the luck of meeting great people all around, and it's been outstanding! I love to go out to the wild, know people from diferent cultures and background and I love sports, whatching them and practicing them. Well, and lots of other things as well, but can tell you later! I worked for the Government of my country in GIS and Remote Sensing, learning a lot! Now I work for an NGO with a great opportunity for making changes in people's lives! I live with my wife and my almost 4 year old son. Greatest experience ever!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, and try to make a difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I haven't been able to provide a couch as I live in a tiny little appartment. I think that I will surely promote CS with my friends and collegues! The experience has been really phenomenal!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hmm, basically with friends abroad but not under the CS, but through other friends, I surfed in Paris, and I hosted some friends from Holland. With CS, I surfed twice in South Africa (Bloemfontein and Cape Town), two extremely nice experiences! Hosted two people so far... Nice!

Interests

- Knowing the culture of my host/surfers.
- Travel the world!
- Exploring the nature from wherever I go to.
- Learn from everyone I know!
- Restore the planet!
