Overview
About Me
(Falo portugues tambem ;)
I've been living in Brazil since 2014, I love this country. I love to travel, I totally embrace the couchsurfing philosophy, as in "there are no strangers, only friends you haven't meet yet".
I'm quite chilled and relaxed, in my free time I like sports and music (I play percussions - that one reason why I love Brazil :) ).
I'm very fond of nature, animals and plants (I wish I had a dog, but with the travelling, I didn't make the move yet). I also love cooking and making cocktails for making a good time with friends.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't expect anything... And the world will be yours.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I feel like I've been blessed to live in Brazil, in the cities of Salvador and Porto Alegre, and I'd like to give back a little by hosting travelers who needs a couch.
Also I like to travel and meet locals, so I use couchsurfing when I'm on the move. I don't like travelling when everything is embedded in a commercial relationship. It's not only about saving money, it's also and mostly because relationships out of money are much more true, obviously. Being on couchsurfing allow me to enjoy the reality of different corners of the earth through the eyes of the locals.
