Hi guys!

My name is Alvaro but all my friends calls me Diño, like Ronaldhino, the famous brazilian futball player, because when i´m have my hair short I look like him (But i´m not that good at the game, sadly). I am a professional photographer and I do mostly advertising, architecture, hotels and outdoor photography. Every weekend I go to the mountains with my friends and we do a lot of hikes around the wildernes. I´m a extremely entusiast tree climber and I´m seting up my own school of tree climbing, called TREPA wich it means: CLIMB!

I spent one year sailign over the world as a cruise ship photographer, meeting thousands of people from all over the world. Also i´m a writer who have a blog from 10 years now, and i´m starting a new one, only about trips. This way i´m looking forward to start being a professional photographer who writes stories all over the world.

I´m learning how to make magazines so I can document my trips in a way most of the people like it, so I can make a living on the go. I am a super happy person, and I enjoy almost every second of my life. Very enthusiast and super friendly. I have a lot of friends but always looking to make some more.

Let´s have an oportunity to meet up, and to share a wonderfull experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is all about people. It´s easy and extremely boring to stay in hotels and limit your experience to buildings, parks and museums. You know you´re traveling when you are in a position to meet new people to see the places in a real way.

Also is difficult to meet new people. This is a unique oportunity to have a real experience, make new friends and to share my world to yours.

Interests

Photography, hiking, climbing, tree climbing, singing, dancing, but most of all, make this world a better place.

Everything I do is to put some light in dark places, initiating a positive feeling about everything. There is nothing bad or wrong, there is only ways of feeling or thinking.

I´m 100% and I teach how to do it.

Also I´m taking my tarot cards with me ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is The Amazing. Super cool stuff. But also I enjoy pink floyd o pearl jam a lot.

My favorite movie is the godfather, and my favorite book can be any from Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I almost got kidnaped on a alien spaceship.

Crazy but true.

The fourth kind, real stuff.

They didn´t take me, so everything went well. Cool story anyway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk to people and understand when they say they are not happy, and turn them around, leaving a positive feeling and a shiny future on their hands.

Each one of us do their own part to make this a better place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, stories, stories, pictures who tell stories. Also, because i´m in a new place, as a photographer I have a very special way to look the places, and I can help locals to have a new and fresh look to the places where they belong.
