My name is Matheus Jung (24) and I was born and lived in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I am graduated in Control and Automation Engineering in UFMG, a public university in my home town. After two years working as engineer in a big company, I decided to quit my job and go traveling the world. I am fascinated about learning new people and different places and cultures. I lived one year in Germany during my studies and visited Europe, Asia and North America. Now it's time to meet the old friends and make a lot of new ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is an amazing way to know the culture of the place you're visiting. Nobody knows it's city better than the locals. Most of the times, when a lot of tourists are together, they visit just the principal touristic places, without living the real life of the city. I wanna know deeply different counties culture (as well as showing mine) and make new friends worldwide.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Indie, although I listen to all different kinds of music. It really depends on the mood of the environment or my feelings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My one-month-trip to Southeast Asia was one of the most incredible things I've ever done. This motivated me to leave my job and going to do a long-term-travel. Now I'm developing my website to tell everything about this experience: www.leaveandlive.com

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love teaching. I did a volunteer work teaching math to small children in a public school in my country. As I turn 25, I'll apply to a volunteer work in a big organization (like UNO).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love teaching the languages I know (Portuguese, Spanish, German, English and a little bit of French), preparing some meals from Brazil (believe: it's the best food ever).
