About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

Tough talking about yourself, I have some good qualities some flaws like everyone else. I like meeting new people, but am more the person for sitting somewhere and talk (drink a little) than going out for a night of heavy partying. I enjoy having a good time though what that "good time" is depends on the moment, can be anything from going to a bar with friends to go swimming at the waterfalls (tiny ones) near my house, bbq-ing with friends, driving around (love driving) or reading a good book ^^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have room available for 1-5 people where I live but due to location I can often only receive people that have their own transport (kinda limits things a bit doesnt it?)or people that dont mind coming to the city with me in the morning and back in the evening...either that or "be stuck" on the "farm" the entire day and chill ^^. If you have a car/motorcycle you can get from my place to the center of Brasilia in 35 minutes orso if you depend on public transport its close to impossible (impractical anyway)... On the other hand you will be staying in place where you wont hear any traffic at night, theres a waterfall about 15 minutes away (again by car) where you can swim (or not).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few surfers that stayed at a friends house, which let me to sign up...hosted several people myself since then which was great and met a few more just for a beer and a night on the town...so far all experiences positive :)

Update: had 5 surfers staying at my house so far and met a few more in the city for drinks...loving it :)

For some reason most of my guests are vegetarians and vegans (and a frutarian)... no problem whatsoever, all of them have been great but wouldnt mind organizing a bbq once and again hahahaha

Update 2: surfer number 6 yay a carnivore! hehehe
