About Me

Living in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, for while ... forever?
Make new friends from all over the world may be so amazing as visiting countries. CS offers a unique opportunity to get close contact with people coming from quite different cultures, to practice foreign languages, and to help these people in several ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I expect to meet people who likes to talk about their life experiences, their countries' cultures, who actually wants to get to know people, and not just want a place to be hosted. I think that travelling is an amazing thing, mainly when you can meet locals and get to know their lives and culture.

If you see CS only as a way to get a place to sleep, I'm sorry but I prefer not to host you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, Classic, Rock... anything that sounds nice!

I'm leading with Ulysses (Joyce) for a long time... :D
History is usually my first choice when thinking about a book to read, but I'm open-minded to any other matters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Sugar Loaf by its east face was the last goal (2016).
In the far past, I have flown to Amazon in a twin-engine aircraft without electronic navigation instruments, followed by a 10 hours trip in a motorboat in Amazon rivers to visit buffaloes' farms.
The hitchhiking from the Mato Grosso to Rio de Janeiro was a crazy journey also... well, those were some crazy things.
