ABOUT ME

I regard myself as an open-minded guy coming from the country-side, eager to get to know the world. I'm studying to become a professional German-Portuguese translator. During my free time, I try to meet people, go to the movies and figure out who I am.

PHILOSOPHY

I try and get to know myself by knowing other people and places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling and hosting as often as possible :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first met a couple of couchsurfers through common friends and it was quite a remarkable experience. Since I have my own flat in Porto Alegre, I've been receiving some CSers and it's been quite a nice experience: they are people who I'm very glad to have met and who I would very much like to meet again. Then when I was studying in Germany for a semester, I had the opportunity to travel around Spain and got to know some of the coolest people out there precisely through CS :)
