I realized that the world is a place to enjoy! That's why, whenever I get the opportunity, I like to travel around and share experiences. I believe that you only really get to know a new place when you trully get to know the people there.
Besides that, I'm a nice guy who gets up early everyday to go to deal with engineering stuff at work and likes to hang out with friends during the weekend.
On my free time, I really enjoy music (I have a jazz band), reading, movies and cooking!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I first heard of Couchsurfing concept, I got excited with the idea at the very moment. I find the project's purpose amazing and I want to support it as a member.

Interests

Get to know different people and engage in a good conversation exchanging each one's point of view about music, movies, books, arts, economics, politics, etc.. And, of course, sharing a local meal and beer or two if possible!
That's what I think of a "complete" travel experience: not only sightseeing, but living the local routine.
