CURRENT MISSION

Make friends, know different cultures, enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Ricardo Knoblauch. Although the german surname, I am 100% Brazilian from the south (Santa Catarina State). Professionally, I am a researcher and professor in engineering (I'm not an usual boring engineer, I can guarantee it).
I am funny and very talkative. I like to chat about many things, such as life, society, relationships, philosophy, or whatever comes to the mind.
As a guest, I am very respectful, easygoing and helpful. I tend to wake up happy, fact that I consider to be a plus for anyone hosting me.
I also like cycling, skateboarding, climbing, and trying new foods and drinks.
Due to the time I’ve spent living abroad, I am very aware about the difficulties of being a foreigner. And that’s why I also consider myself particularly sympathetic to people from other cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie, folk, rock, metal, bossa nova, classic and pop. (pretty much, right?)
Movies: Everything!
Books: Science Fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed a cliff that is surrounded by the sea here in Florianópolis. That was incredibly amazing. It took about 5 hours to complete the task, me and my team climbed more than 100m using climbing equipment.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences, jokes, ideas, more jokes, and good theories. I always have a theory for something. Sometimes it makes some sense. Some times not.

Countries I’ve Visited
