CURRENT MISSION

Knowing the world through its people

ABOUT ME

Just a Brazilian guy interested in good music, art, history, traveling and meeting new people. I was raised in Salvador, the most exotic city of Brazil, and now I live in Niteroi, across the bay from Rio de Janeiro. I'm also a lawyer; just finished my master in International Law and currently I'm teaching International Politics.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't panic (in big yellow letters)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Niteroi, nearby Rio de Janeiro. Would love to meet people from different countries, have a beer, coffee, or a citywalk around Rio or Niteroi.

Interests

I love traveling, wish I could do it more often. Also, I love sports (I'm a jiu-jitsu blue belt), good music (old sambas, jazz, blues, classic rock'n'roll) and making friends, which naturaly includes meeting new people from different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first travel to Aventureiro, in Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis. We sailed by night, and when we left the bay to reach open sea it was both dangerous and marvellous. A clear bright full moon night, huge lazy waves marking the beat of Old Man Marley's music on the radio. When finally we hit the shores of the island, I saw one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen.
