I'm a university professor. Specialist in energy and sustainable development.

I like traveling so much. I travel more than 2 months a year.

I have traveled almost all of Brazil and Latin America, but, now (2019) I will take longer flights - Europe, Asia and Africa.

I travel most of the time alone. But I'm almost never alone. Well, I make friends very easily.

I make a great caipirinha (brazilian drink) ;) .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I choose the place of the trip because of the natural beauty. However, interacting with new people is what makes travels spectacular. I believe, therefore, that the practice of "Couchsurfing" is a great way to increase even more the interaction with the people of the countries visited. Sharing experiences gained throughout my travels in Latin America. Contact with local people gives me a more realistic experience of the customs of the region visited.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very eclectic person in the likes. I like to talk about the most diverse subjects, from sports, travel, music, cinema, economics, politics (why not ?!), parties, jokes, etc.

I really like to cook. As a descendant of an Italian family, I like to eat and cook Italian (pasta) and Brazilian foods, including barbecues. like to make new recipes of pizza and bruschettas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Recipes of typical Brazilian foods, for the most part, very easy to prepare.

Alternative and Brazilian songs/movies (including classics), which I have on my external hard drive and notebook.

I can share experiences about Brazil and Latin America. And I can also be a partner in trekking and extreme sports.

As I enjoy "sightseeing" early in the morning, I could spend a lot of time with my hosts during the night. If my hosts do not work during the day, better yet.
