I am still searching for the purpose of life and believe exploring the world and meeting people from all around will always be the best way to find it (purpose). In the meantime I am (or try to be) very intense in everything I do. As far as I know we have only one life and time never stops to pass by, so why not try to enjoy it while we still can? But of course, balance is essential for everything.

More into the concrete stuff, I am a Brazilian, current living in Barcelona. I work with IT stuff (yes I am a bit nerd sometimes) and when I am not doing by best in my job (trying to create meaninful IT solutions for people) I love doing sports, travelling and hanging out with other people. (Yes, I am a bit talkative!)

If you wanna know more about me, though I don't use it much, you can search me on facebook (almost nobody else has my middle name Baraças) or just reach me out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is not about saving money (by not having to pay a hostel or something), but get to know people that live in the city, their habits, culture and all!

How I start to feel like this:
I often travel with other people and mostly I create travel plans that are crazy fast (like arriving at the hostel late in the night and leaving early in the morning), so I don't think on those kind of trips it would be nice for couchsurfing. Last trips I've made though, I took a different approach, when I went to Bulgaria and gave Couchsurfing a try, it was a wonderful experience. Also I have received people at home (Barcelona) and it was great time too!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share experiences, talking about history or even better pay you a beer at your favourite bar!

Also, do you have an idea to create an app or start a new business? At work I help plenty of startups to big companies to take their projects out of paper, so I might help you with some tips as well!
