About Me

I'm a very positive person, who really seek for new experiences all the time! I really enjoy talking to people and exchanging different experiences and point of views. That's why having the opportunity to host or to be hosted is amazing: always a different experience!

I was born in Brasília, Brazil and lived there until my college graduation, that was when I moved to São Paulo, where I currently live and work as a management consultant. São Paulo is a great city, with so many different things to do, restaurants to eat, and parties to go to! I would love to show someonelse how fun is to live here from a local point of view.

I am passionate about seeing the world through different lens and that is translated in different aspects, such as meeting new people, visiting new places, eating different food, being in touch with nature, doing sports, speaking a foreign language and having experiences out of my business-life-comfort-zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided this year that I will live the life I wanted to live. Right now I'm doing my best to accomplish that!
Really looking forward to meet new people and enjoy a good company, drinks and conversations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many amazing things, one that comes to mind was this one time I went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, to some hot springs amidst snow. It was night, there was no light (artificial nor natural), with the exception of the amazing full moon. Clothes were optional and the place was amazing.

Share: My life experiences and everything I know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about anything, I'm passionate about teaching other people and sharing experiences.

As required as a consultant, I am a VERY GOOD listener and can also perform house tasks (actually enjoy).

I am very clean and definitely a good guest (my bar is high here). I hate to bother my hosts, I try to be invisible in terms of occupying and using their stuff, however I really appreciate talking (not to the point of being annoying, though). If you hate talking people, you will hate me. I'm the kind of person who wakes up smiling.
