ABOUT ME

I'm a Brazilian guy and at the moment I'm living here in Curitiba. Before I was travelling Japan, South Korea, Russia (and the Trans Siberian Railway) and Eastern Europe! Before, was living in Perth, Western Australia! :) And before, I was traveling the US, Europe, South America, Asia and New Zealand. A few years ago I lived for one and half year in Perth, Western Australia, for one month in Keri Keri, New Zealand, for one and half year in Dublin, Ireland and a few months in Santa Monica, California. Sometime ago I started to travel and now I'm addicted! :) Check http://www.traveljournals.net/travelers/juchem/ to find out some former old pictures! I'm here in the CS Project because I believe in this kind of community, I believe that all the people around the world have to trust each other, to build a better living environment! I'm also here to help with anything I can, information of places I'd been and, if I'm living in a fixed place, not like now that I'm traveling, I can provide accommodation e why not, be your guide! Has been more than 10 years that I feel I´m free travelling! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Travel and be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a few times and wish to surf and host plenty of times more!

I believe the most people in the world are good and everybody can learn from each other!

Interests

Bicycle, travel, meeting people, good food and stopping getting old (how?!)

Music, Movies, and Books

TV: Sponge Bob Squarepants, The Simpsons, Futurama, news, Discovery, History Channel, NatGeo.
Music: Mostly everything, because I think music is one of the most important and old form of cultural expressions in the world.
Books: I'm not a big reader, but last times I read the book about the guys counting cards in Vegas, one about a guy who spend all his lottery prize in a few years and now I'm reading one about a guy who have been to every single street in my hometown (a huge city, Sao Paulo).
Movies: A list of the best movies in the world should include Into the Wild, Forrest Gump, The Godfather, American Beauty and many others...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel, travel, travel! :) Work hard, travel a lot! Santiago de Compostela way by bike, to Ushuaia by car and the Trans Siberian Railway!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn about everything in the world! Space, outer space, languages, experiences, etc! Everything is welcome! And I also like to share all the knowledge I can!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can try to cook something I know!
I can tell stories of my life!

And I can also play Monopoly, Uno and some card games!
