Very open, friendly, caring, brave, self confident, healthy, sporty

PHILOSOPHY:

Agora e a hora! (=NOW is the time)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a very open person, that is curious about other people's mentality. I feel it makes me wiser and richer to look at the world from different perspectives. Couchsurfing allows me to dive into another culture and life.

So far I have mostly done couchsurfing in Brasil, where I only had wonderful experiences: In Rio de Janeiro, I stayed at Bruno's place. A very friendly guy, who showed me around whenever he could and tried to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Later I travelled to Ubatuba, Paraty and Ihla Grande and stayed with 4 more Couchsurfers. I learned Portuguese this way!:) In Florianopolis, I was meeting a whole couchsurfer group ones a week.
