About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make every experience a extremely positive experience

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going guy. I don't drink and I don't smoke, but trust me, I'm not a boring person 'cos that.

I like to travel a lot, but almost all the times I travel for business. In this travels I try stay a little longer by myself to know the city that I'm going.

Zero is my nickname. Ze stands for José (which nickname in Portuguese is Zé) and Ro stands for Roberto.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach. Learn. Share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm offering my couch and I hope to use a lot of couches around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already was a CouchSurfer before knowing CouchSurfing:

- Once I was traveling through Brazilian south and I became a very friend of a German guy that was in the hostel. We finished the travel up to north ('til my place) together and stood 2 weeks in my house.

- I met in the internet an Irish guy that lives in Mexico but was in Brazil. He was here for business so was not necessary to couch him, but we could hang around the city for few days. Then, after few months, he came back and I hosted him.

- A Venezuelan friend of my Mexican-Irish friend came to Brazil. Was not necessary to host him but we could hang around to discos and interesting places.

Interests

I love music and I will love to know the music from your country. I love to know the culture of other people and to tell about my culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've born in Santos-SP but I live in São Paulo-SP. Once I was working at Paracatu-MG and for the Easter weekend I had traveled to Belo Horizonte-MG. When I was there I've decided to go to a city near by called Ouro Preto-MG. When I was in the street I saw a guy with a "I'm a lost foreign" face: he was Freddy, a guy from France. I started to talk with him and discovered that he had MY NAME APPOINTED ON HIS NOTES. How come?! He was a couchsurfer too! =)

Teach, Learn, Share

When you are going to meet someone from other country, try to read somethings about her/his place and learn some words before met. The person will feel very comfortable and happy with this.
