I grew up in a farm in a small town in southern Brazil. After graduating in a kind of Agricultural Technician, I went to work on a farm in France (near Troyes). When I returned to Brazil, I changed (radically) the professional course I was taking, I left agriculture aside to enter the school of architecture and urbanism. During the Architecture course, I returned to France, this time for an exchange in the École d'architecture of Nantes, where I studied for a year (2013/2014).

Now, I'm back in Brazil, making a master level in urbanism and studiyng urban cycling as means of transportation. I'm also starting a cycling advocacy group in the city where I actually live. I think it could be a wonderful strategy to make brasilian cities more livable places. :)

I live with my girlfriend in the city center , very close to public transportation (2 min walk) and also near the most bohemian street of the town (3 min walk).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've received some guests when I studied at Nantes (France). And that was a wonderful experience.

Now, I'm back to Brazil, and I wanna do it here :)

I think that meet locals it's the way to really understand the spirit of a place that you're visiting.
