Hello,
Well I guess I will try to give the most important information of me in this small rectangular box.

I am Brazilian, born and mostly raised, from Sao Paulo. As a child, I spent most of my days playing around my families farm on the weekends, picking fruits, helping around, eating a lot, and spending some quality time with my family. And on normal days, just enjoying the city life of the biggest city in the country.
When I turned 16 yo, I traveled for the first time on my own. It opened my eyes to everything that I could see and learn outside of culture and daily life, and everything that I could share and show to others.

So, I am a professional 'cook'! I work in restaurants, with lots of heat, pressure, screaming,etc.. I love rhythm and movement. As well as good food, wine, beer, juice, fruits. hahaha. Anyway, I think you'll get the point. And there's no reason why we shouldn't share a few meals together!

I am also very much in touch with the outdoors. It may be a walk on the park, playing volleyball or some other sport or game, making barbecue, hiking, gathering vegetables, visiting sites, walking on the city. YOU NAME IT, I'LL DO IT! I am a free-bird.

In case you are wondering, I am a very organized, neat, respectful person. Any mom would be proud of me. So have no concerns regarding how I would behave, because it will be spot on!

To sum up! I guess it's all here in a very concise way... Any questions you may have please ask.
Hope to see you around!
Tchau.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

The reason why I chose this place.
I guess there's no better way to learn and live a place than by the eyes and experience of those that live it.
So if I have the chance to do so and share some of my mind too, that will be just perfect.

Musica, film e libri

I like pretty much anything music related. It will depend on my mood.
-Reggae, Rock, New Metal, Pop, Classic, Hip Hop, Brazilian Traditional music...
Books:
-Harry Potters(duh), Third Plate, Richest Man of the Babylon, Catcher in the Rye(duh), Blood, Bones and Butter...
I also tend to read some things on finance, but most people will find it boring.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I would say that I have been traveling the world since i was 15 yo. I have been to most countries in South America, New Zealand, US, Canada, short stay in London, and now I live in Doha, Qatar.
But if those trips are not enough for you I can give a little more.
-Grew up eating fruits from trees in my families farm;
-Took a course on Falconry;
-Bungee Jumped;
-Ate a small chick boiled before hatching(this one was a bit hardcore);
-Went down the Death Road (Ruta della muerte) in Bolivia.

I hope these are enough.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I am a 'Chef'. I actually do not like this term, I prefer 'cook'.
I can teach you a few things in the kitchen and even cook for you!

I can speak Portuguese(mother language), English, French and some Spanish. It is always fun teaching someone other languages, mostly when is my own. I am also learning Italian now=]

I know, and love, how to work with earth. I can teach you how to make a small green garden or maybe just a few vases for your herbs.

I am pretty sure there's much more to be exchanged, these were the things that just poped in my mind now.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can always share knowledge, food from the country I am currently living, or from the ones I've been passing on.
All the good stories and values that I have gathered through my life.
I will always be opened and available to help out in tasks or chores. As well as outdoor activities and trips.(even short ones to a bar or restaurant)

I am always up to share an experience, a drink, a nice conversation, whatever comes along.
