About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and learn to be a better person.

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD's student in Ancient History / Classics at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Now I’m studying in Harvard until June/2020. I can describe myself as a person that wants to share experiences with any kind of human being in the world. I am really easy going, friendly, clean and independent. I like adventure and outdoor activity. I spent most of my free time meeting new friends, watching sports (soccer, football and rugby) as well as going to movies, comedy clubs, and other fun spots in the city. Finally, music, literature, science, education and history are my life. And I'm gay (if that bothers you, then you should be ashamed).

PHILOSOPHY

Every growth is a collective experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled quite a bit and I have learned that experiencing other cultures/cities isn't about sightseeing but about meeting people and their personal experiences.

Interests

BBQ, Cultural anthropology, music, cultural and musical exchange, discovering places from the point of view of a local.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well.
I can teach you about the languages I have been trying to speak over the past years - and I am happy to learn about your language in return. I also can teach about ancient history and we can chat about anything.
I could cook for you, we can share recepies and travel stories.
