ABOUT ME

I finished my bachelor in computer engineering in Sao Paulo - Brazil in 2005, and after 1.5 years working I decided to come to Europe for a master's. I have been to Trondheim-Norway and Tartu-Estonia, as part of the programme. I have completed the masters in 2009 and now I'm working as a software developer in Trondheim.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly asking for couch...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had the first surf in Oslo, for 2 nights, and it was quite good. The host was really friendly and helped me and my friend to find the places to visit. My friend told me about the couch surfing project and showed how good it can be to share experiences.
Had another one is Stockholm that was really great also! Really nice host with a really nice family!
Had other great experiences that you can check in the references.
