I'm 35 full time Jiu Jitsu instructor, grew up in Brazil but live in Los Angeles for over 20 years now.
My school is called Caique Jiu Jitsu and it's about 5 minutes walk from my house, if you want to take a class I'd love to have you.

I love to travel to try new food, meet people and experience different cultures. At home I enjoy cooking all sorts of foods. I also go to the beach often when the weather is nice.

I'm generally very active but also love to have a very quiet time and enjoy sunsets or great dinner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people while traveling, experience different cultures and learn about them. To offer people a place to stay, get to know them and show a less well known (in my opinion much better) part of LA

Interests

Food is my number 1 thing so will take any recommendations of local places to try. Also love to cook and if you're staying with me I'd love to cook you a meal

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched a volcano erupt all night in Guatemala right across from the volcano we were on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook almost any dish you can think of, so depending on time dinner is on me. You'll have your own room, my house is about 10 minutes drive from a great beach. Close enough to LA, 30 minutes or less, so access to all the restaurants, museums, events and shows
