About Me

I'm currently working as Dive Instructor in Thailand.

I'm an easygoing person, I love to travel and to share experiences with everybody. You are welcome to share your experiences with me while drinking some beers.

I'm a relaxed and open-minded guy who likes to travel and have fun. I want to live new experiences without problems to try new things.

Love to meet new people, and listen different ideas. I love to learn with people, but do it by myself is extasis.. I love nature, just feel it and breath it. Perfect is to get out from the ocean and take a shower on a waterfall.
The surprises from life and everything that I love come with travelling. I love life.

"More than know new places, i want to meet new people, new cultures. Happiness is not the destiny anymore, but the way of travelling."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from all over the world and be part of a multi-cultural environment. I want to know the local culture in a way that tourists can’t and get a chance to get out of my comfort zone.

We all need our space sometimes, but one thing is true: the more you live with different people, the more you realize the values of sharing and collaborating. It’s all about meaningful experiences that can turn us into better people.

Interests

My biggest interest is volunteer work , because I don't agree with the poverty and inequality in the world . When I'm helping someone who really needs , is the moment when I feel really alive.

I did yoga for 2 years and this was my favorite activity . The perfect way to relax and have some self knowledge.

I like slackline too, that's a good activity to improve your balance.

I've played handball for a few years at college and now I want to try skates and juggling or any other activity that you want to teach me! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a volunteer on a ONG that builds houses to really poor families in the brazilians favelas. I've been a volunteer since 2012 with activities about the communitary development.

Teach, Learn, Share

Conversations. I like to discuss and know new things about different cultures and life experiences. when we share, we grow up. I like to have fun and go out, so take a ride around the town is a perfect hobby.

Life is made of meaningful experiences. Everyone can offer you something special anywhere in the world. The quest for knowledge is the most important thing you can carry, acquire and offer on your journey.

I'm here to learn :)

"A tourist sees what s/he went to see, while a traveler experiences everything along the way."

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations. People don't really know the what they're teaching or learning at a depth conversation. When you know someone experiences you get the lessons to you and the friendship gets strong. I can cook an delicious meal and make some drinks from Brazil, like caipirinhas.
