Hey there! I’m Matheus, a 26-year-old Brazilian with a deep passion for authentic travel, cultural exchange, and the great outdoors. I’m not your typical party backpacker—I’m sober and prefer meaningful connections over crowded bars. But don’t worry, I’m far from boring! I love adventures, laughter, and swapping stories with people from all walks of life.
A Little About Me:
- 🚗 Back Home, I work as an executive driver and take care of my grandmother (family comes first!).
- 📚 No degree yet, but I’m a lifelong learner—especially when it comes to economics and world cultures.
- 🐾 I'm a animal lover, so If you have pets, I’ll gladly be their new best friend!
- 🍳 Budget-savvy traveler – I enjoy cooking local dishes to save money and connect.
- 🌍 – This is my first big international trip, and I’m excited to make it unforgettable through real human connections.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see Couchsurfing as more than just accommodation - it's a gateway to authentic cultural exchange. As a budget-conscious traveler, I value the economic aspect, but what truly draws me is the opportunity to connect meaningfully with locals. I want to improve my English through natural conversations, exchange life experiences, and gain insider knowledge about your city - especially hidden trails and non-touristy spots. For me, true travel happens when we move beyond sightseeing to understanding how people live and think. That's the real adventure worth having.

Interests

Museums, Culture; Love diving deep into local history and art. Let’s explore hidden gems together!

City Cycling; Prefer bikes over metros! Perfect way to discover a city’s soul while staying active.

Hiking; Swimming; Mountains, forests, lakes – if it’s outdoors, I’m there. Bonus if there’s a trail with epic views...

Training; Parks; Whether it’s calisthenics, running, or just stretching in a park, I like keeping moving.

Cultural Immersion – More than just sightseeing – I want to understand how locals really live.

Always happy to join for active adventures or quiet cultural discoveries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve chased waterfalls—literally! Explored 100+ waterfalls and 150+ beaches across Brazil. From hidden jungle cascades to deserted shores, nature’s my greatest love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a quiet, sober, and responsible guest who respects homes as if they were my own. I'll happily help with household chores, pet care, or gardening, and always leave spaces clean. I understand the importance of maintaining a peaceful, tidy environment. You'll find me low-maintenance and considerate of your space and routines.
