About Me

####I've been travelling quite much, thats why i am "Maybe Accepting Guests", but always happy to host people when possible! ;-)

I'm a Brazilian passionate about civic engagement and mobilization, and working in bicycle promotion with my NGO from Brazil, Bike Anjo (or auf Deutsch "Fahrradengel").

Now I'm in Berlin as a fellow from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to learn with german experience on bicycle promotion and urban mobility.

Important note: I created this profile long ago first to find hosts for my dog, but now I changed it to my profile. So please don't mind the review(s). ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My priority has always been to meet new people or be in a cozy environment, which are things I normally don't do or have when I'm in a hotel.

Couchsurfing is also an exchange experience, so that's why I'm here and would rather do couchsurfing then staying in a hotel. ;-)

Interests

- Playing guitar and piano or listening to music (anything you can imagine)
- Bike polo (never hear of it? Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcourt_Bike_Polo)
- Passionate about cycling and urban movements

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music: Metal (Heavy, Thrash/Death) and Brazilian Popular Music
- Movies: any movie that makes you laugh or think, I'm in ;-)
- Books: I've been a lazy reader, but love books about the way we think or interact in society (but not too scientific)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many:
- A bike trip from Berlin to Copenhagen with my wife
- A bike trip across the Colombian cost by myself
- The Roraima Mountain (border between Brazil and Venezuela)
- Participated in the Naked Bike Ride in São Paulo/Brazil

Teach, Learn, Share

- Love to share music (specially local and unknown artists)
- Love to learn language (specially German for the moment)
- Love to teach about culture from Brazil or any other I've been to
