About Me

I'm a curious person, so i'm always searching for learning oportunities! In order to satisfy my curiosity I read, I talk to people, I travel and I work.

I think i'm a funny guy (at least in my own language, portuguese...) I'm more introspective person that a extroverted one, but know how to party! :)

I love nature and outdoor activities, especially hiking and camping. I've never tryed fishing, but i think i'll love it when I do.

I also like to play modern boardgames.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it gives us (couchsurfing community) access to a brand new way of experience the world around us, and so learning from it.

Because I strongly belive in the shared economy!

Interests

Right now I'm pursuing knowledge about sustainable living. I'm especially focused in permaculture and tiny houses.
I'm also really into learning norwegian (bokmal and/or nynorsk), because I like norwegian culture and their relation with nature.
Dream of having my own farm and live in my tiny house! Maybe having more than one so I can offer accomodation to the couchsurfing community... :) and so payback the kindness.
