About Me

I live in Socorro, 130km away from Sao Paulo.. I really love Couchsurfing - thank to this website I could make a lot of friends around the world. Travelling, photography and cycling are some of my passions. Knowing new cultures, visiting different places and trying new things is the best way to enjoy life. I consider myself like an easygoing, friendly and nice person. I hope travel to a lot of places and meet new people that I hope call my friends!

PHILOSOPHY

It always seems impossible until it's done. (Nelson Mandela)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience as a CouchSurfer was in April 2012. I went in Norway for one week and, and I couldn't afford for a hotel, as the city didn't have a hostel. So I tried CS for the first time and it was the best experience ever. Having someone who invites you to his house, trust you in a way that also gives you you the key, make you feel at home... What an amazing experience! The family that first hosted me are my friends until now. Last year I went to Europe in a business trip and took a few days off to visit then, and I was their guest again :)
After that I've been to many different countries doing CS and making new friends around the world. I really enjoy it, and finally I am able to host in my apartment (a small studio in a nice neighboorhood in Buenos Aires).
