About Me

From Brazil to the world, I am a very easygoing person, interested in meeting other cultures and crazy about traveling.
I am an energy engineering student working at the National Agency of Electrical Energy and also as an English teacher in my spare time.
Very easy to get along with, I like to talk about many things such as food, traveling, politics, sports, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2015, I started hosting an American friend at my house in Brasilia. I had no idea about how it feels to go to an unknown places without knowing anyone. This friend stayed at my house for a year and it was such a good experience that our families became one family. Therefore, I decided to host people and in the same way I would like to travel and meet other people's culture, routines in order to know the places through the natives` perspective.

Interests

One of my passions is working out. I love sports and something I always do when I travel is to combine exercise with sightseeing. I always try to meet the city while running or biking around.
I am very fond of eating and drinking as well. Tasting other cultures` cuisine is an awesome experience for me. I`ve been learning about wine and it`s good to clarify that beer is my middle name.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite kinds of music are sertanejo (it`s the brazillian country music), r&b, and hip hop, electronic and pop. Coldplay is the soundtrack of my life.
People usually say that stories are better in books than in movies. I`d say the art of performing is much more interesting, it has always fascinated me. I like movies with a good story in it. Favorite ones? The curious case of Benjamin Button, Inglorious Basterds, now you see me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I`ve swam with sharks in Fernando de Noronha and survived -35C in NYC
