About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in Australia

ABOUT ME

My friends think I am a zen-person. I would say that I am a easy going guy who likes surf, music, design, guitar and dogs. I decided to leave Brazil in August 2013 to live a new experience. Australia is my first stop ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is today...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new in "official"couchsurfing. I have hosted some people in my house in Torquay, VIC, and it's been really good. Besides that, I can say that I have a lot of "unofficial"experience. My house in Brazil is almost a hostel. I have 3 friends that are living there now with my parents, and we always host a lot of friends there from other cities. Besides that, I traveled to a lot of places while I was living in Brazil sleeping in friend's houses (or in friends of friend's houses)
