I'm Thal, 26 years old, recently graduated in economics . As i just graduated, i took the opportunity to make my first international trip, as a exchange program. So, since last December, i've been working in the Nationwide Arena, in Columbus, home of the Blue Jackets. The program ends in March 15th, and after that, me and my girlfriend, Isabela, will take a month to get to know a little bit more about USA, and the american culture. It is also our first trip together, and it would be amazing if you help us with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its an amazing opportunity to get to understand a culture, learn how the world is big, diverse, and exciting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a lot within Brazil. The university gave me opportunities of knowing a lot of country cities from my state, Minas Gerais. I also took a three days trail in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Between the cities of Teresópolis and Petrópolis, witch gifted me with the most beautiful view i have ever seen, from the Bahia de Guanabara 70 miles away.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to cook the delicious 'Palha Italiana', witch is not from Italy but from Brazil. I can teach you some Portuguese, and a lot about Brazil and South America.
