Even saving money is always a good idea, remember this is not the main idea of CS. As I always do, include also the reason you chose me to send the request to. I do my best to read and answer all the requests, but "copy and paste" requests will be automatically declined. I have a lot of things described here that you could be interested in sharing and knowing, and I am down to host from totally similar to totally different people :)

Brazilian guy interested in traveling around the world and discovering new people and lives. I am funny, easygoing and I enjoy so much hanging out in order to share knowledge about trips and cultures (and foods, I love to cook).

ABOUT ME

Family, coffee, triathlon and international cuisine drive my life.I am also a big fan of wine and beer tasting.

29 years old Brazilian guy currently taking medical internship and a sports, wine and food lover.

I enjoy a lot traveling by myself as a backpacker to discover new cities and new cultures, to share knowledge about my country and to make new friends. On the other hand, I always enjoyed helping foreign people who are in my country, not only to book a hotel or suggest places to visit, but also taking them to nice places, cooking typical food from Brazil and things like that.
I am easygoing guy,and I rarely get in trouble with somebody or under some situation, and I have a leader and peaceful spirit. As I have moved and traveled a lot of times, lived alone/with other people from my age, I adapt easily in new environments

PHILOSOPHY

There is a part of a song that summarizes my way of life:
"I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away''
Upside Down - Jack Johnson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to hang out with different people, share experiences and stories about trips and new discovers. Up to almost everything, since a hiking / running work out, coffee, wine, and parties, depending on my guest/host's hobbies. I lgenerally get along well with any kind of culture and people.

Interests

To travel and host in order to meet new people and sharing experiences, knowledge about their cities and about my city and my country.
