Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hi guys! i hope you read this: i've been receiving lots of couch requests and messages lately, a lot more than i can handle. sometimes i must travel for work and i don't usually know my plans in advance. also, if you need a place to stay, please don't send me a "regular" message. couch requests are much more simple because it's organized by date. -> this means i'll probably reply couch requests about a week before your stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

well, i had many many guests so far. most of them are awesome people that i'd love to be in touch with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

my life's pretty amazing!
i know 10 african countries, lived in Rwanda, climbed kilimanjaro...

Teach, Learn, Share

i don't think i'm a good teacher... but if it helps, i know a lot about brazilian history, and the history of my city (são paulo).

well... of course - i study economics. i can teach something about that... specially the economy in brazil and the story of the development of the country.
