I'm a vegetarian and non-smoking physician (medical doctor) from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. After finishing my studies and graduating in 2019, I served as a lieutenant in the healthcare corps of the Brazilian Army in my hometown. From 2023 to 2025 I lived in my state's capital city, Porto Alegre, where I moved to enroll in a family medicine residency program. I'm now partially back to my hometown, though I also work at a clinic in a beach town near Porto Alegre. I'm normally always available to help fellow couchsurfers, even at times when I can't host for any reason (which is unfortunately most of my time at this moment, as I'm always moving between cities). Message me and we'll see what can be done!

Sou médico pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), colorado, vegetariano e não-fumante. Sou natural de Santa Maria, onde trabalhei no Exército como oficial médico temporário depois de me formar em 2019. De 2023 a 2025 morei em Porto Alegre, onde fui para cursar residência em medicina de família e comunidade (MFC) no Grupo Hospitalar Conceição. Agora estou parcialmente de volta a Santa Maria, mas também trabalho em Capão da Canoa, no litoral gaúcho. Tento sempre estar disponível para ajudar amigos couchsurfers, mesmo nas épocas que não tiver como hospedar por qualquer motivo (o que infelizmente é a maior parte do tempo atualmente, já que estou sempre viajando entre cidades durante a semana). Me mande uma mensagem e a gente vê o que dá pra fazer!

To meet new people and discover new places.

The Iguaçu Falls between Brazil and Paraguay; Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires; the Erzgebirge in Sachsen, Germany; the Walled City of Jerusalem; the Hagia Sophia, in Istambul; climbing to the top of the dome of the Basilica of St. Peter, in the Vatican City; watching The Marriage of Figaro at the Sydney Opera House; hiking through all of the shrines on Mt.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Always nice to find people to chat in German or Spanish. In exchange I can help with Portuguese or English.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I'm very talkative (and rarely run out of topics to discuss) and love to help with anything that might not be fun to do alone. Also, provided that I have the materials (aka yerba mate), I can make some chimarrão.
