I am a Brazilian journalist and announcer. I currently work on a website talking about the big Brazilian celebrities - gossip. I am passionate about sports and have practiced many over the years, I currently only practice weightlifting and crossfit, but if you want to call me to play table tennis, handball, swimming, running and anything else, I accept. I accept learning new sports too! And speaking of sports, I also work on a social network designed for my heart soccer team - Palmeiras. I love to travel, meet new cultures and new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in the app because I want to meet as many people as I can and hear all these amazing stories. Maybe at the end of this trip a book doesn't come out?

Interests

I really like music and sports. I play a few instruments, but now I'm learning to play guitar and practice CrossFit, and weightlifting.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite style of international music is rock and my favorite bands are: Guns n’ Roses, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, Ac/Dc, Rolling Stones, Scorpions...

My favorite musical style in Brazil is the pagode and samba. Surely I'll teach you some pagodinhos, lol! And my favorite bands are: Thiaguinho, Fundo de Quintal, Revelação, Arlindo Cruz, Jorge Aragão...

I like action series that don't involve much romance because I don't have the patience to watch it, hehe! MY favorite series are: Breaking Bad and Dr. House. Inglês. My favorite movie is Toy Story. I even have a Buzz lightyear tattoo :)

My last free books were about journalism and spiritualism. But I like to read a lot of comics!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I already won a silver medal when I was 12 years old in a table tennis championship in my city. I also won a gold medal in a carnival costume championship. Another cool thing I ever did was write a book about fetishes!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know how to cook sophisticated foods. I can make rice, egg and an amazing noodle! I would love to learn new languages, new terms and improve the ones I have already learned!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you about the history and culture of Brazil. I am willing to help you learn Portuguese - which is a big challenge because the language is very difficult. And I can share my experiences and it would be a pleasure to answer all your questions.
