PHILOSOPHY

Trust your instincts and do not let people tell you how to have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I studying in England, couch surfing became a second nature as I was always receiving or staying over other Brazilian students' house. Eventually I also got into the proper business of couchsurfing and met some amazing people.

Now I am more interested in meeting up with people from places I am visiting to have a more insiders perspective and also doing the same around my home town.

Interests

I am interested in meeting people from different cultures who can widen my view about the world.
I love art in general, but I am strongly interested in street art (always go in the areas with the most concentration of them) and interactive art.
History also really takes a place in my heard and I have a huge pleasure in taking walking tours. I think they completely reshape the visit to some new place.
