CURRENT MISSION

Taking a sabatical year travelling around the globe willing to meet new places, people, ideas and get out of my confort zone

ABOUT ME

I worked the last 5 years with urban planning including projects in slums in Rio de Janeiro. I also had a sushi restaurant for 2 years in the city. I recently quit my job, sold my restaurant and decided it was about time to realize another dream: travel the world!

PHILOSOPHY

I know one thing: that I know nothing... Is that lame? Hehehe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still figuring out... I guess exchanging ideas for know and when I go back to Brazil, hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new in couchsurfing and I love the ideia of meeting local people and understanding the city/country from their point of view.

Interests

Anything regarding cultural activities, nature, wondering around the street of cities, meeting new people, food, beers and wine :)

• dining
• wine
• beer
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Too much to list and my favorite ones keep changing. Movies: Blade Runner and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (those two just came to mind now). Books: I'm very into Jennifer Eagen's books at the moment. Music: love Jazz, samba, brazilian music in general, 70's/ 80's rock :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always think the greatest things I have done are related to travel. But besides that, I think that having a sushi restaurant for 2 years while working in a consulting company was one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Until now ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's see... I can share informations about Brazil and South America. If you are learning portuguese I guess I can also help a little with that (no previous experience though)...

What I Can Share with Hosts
