About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born and have lived my whole life in São Paulo, but the thing that I enjoy the most is to travel as much as my money allows it. I love to meet different kinds of cultures and people and I'm addicted to new experiences.

Nowadays, I manage a sports and cultural marketing business with 3 other friends and as I live 2 blocks away from our office, in one of the coolest neighborhoods of São Paulo, surrounded by bars, restaurants and friends, I have the privilege to go basically everywhere by foot in one of the biggest cities in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the most of it! Life is short. Always do the right thing. Promote everything that is good and be happy making others happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking forward to travel to Asia in 2013 and I would like to experience CS as a visitor, but before that I want to host some people in São Paulo and make their travel experiences better.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I believe that collaboration ideas like crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and hospitality exchange are the future and I've hosted people before, however not with Couchsurfing yet.

Interests

Travel! Sports (from football to snowboard), cinema (from old american movies to cult foreign pics), music (from orchestras to rock festivals) and all kinds of culture, meditation, family and friends always around. Everything that makes us richer in knowledge and happiness.

Music, Movies, and Books

From Billy Wilder to Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone to Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen to Pedro Almodovar. I'm a film buff!

Brazilian music is unbeatable (so is The Beatles). Rock (classic, indie, grunge), soul, jazz, good music!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the last Football World Cup Final in Africa as the last Olympics in London as well. I've done a lot of adventurous sports like bungee jumping and skydiving in New Zealand, snowboarding in Whistler, hang gliding in Rio, paragliding in São Paulo countryside, diving with sharks in South Africa. I've been in incredible places like Machu Picchu, The Great Barrier Reef, Grand Canyon and Kruger National Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about brazilian culture and photography skills and share a good experience in my home town. I would like to learn any kind of music skills in CS.
