Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the summer of 2010, my wife and I roadtripped from Serbia to southern Italy and didn't meet a single Italian. CS now allows us to bring more of the local culture into our travels, which we are happy to extend when we host guests. We have hosted and surfed since spring break 2011.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why just one? =)

Experienced quicksand while crossing the bay at Mont Saint Michel.

We've been on the two largest ziplines in the Americas.

Went bobsledding at the Whistler Olympic Sliding Center.

Attended TEDActive 2014 in Whistler, BC.

Represented Brazil in the "World Testicle Cooking Championship". And got a trophy out of it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Betina can cook virtually anything, and she's quite amazing at it. Luiz loves to share random science facts when you least expect it.
