I was born and bred in Teutônia/RS, but I'm currently living in Porto Alegre since 2013. I have a degree in Business Administratrion and Geography and a masters degree in Geography. Actuallu, I'm in a doctoral program studying Geography/Climatology at UFRGS.

I visited almost all of Rio Grande do Sul state and some other places in Brazil. Currently Ágata, my girlfriend, and I are trying to visit other countries in South America.

I'm curious to know places and their characteristics. This explains why I have a second formation, Geography. I can understand other cultures, the environment and more about geography.

I love to walk, trekking, nature, music, eat pasta (and everything else), study the atmosphere and the clouds and photography. My Instagram: www.instagram.com/maiquel.jantsch/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I don't have problem in staying in a hotel but for sure couchsurfing is very helpful in meeting nice people and get quick and reliable info on cities and stuff to do during my trips.

Meet the people is a part of know the cities!
