My name is Thyago Capitanio, born in May '97 (Taurus) and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. I study Mechanical Engineering and Applied Maths at Rio's public university and would love to work someday with socially impactful Engineering. I love anything art-related and talk about that a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to have new experiences, meet new people and get to know other places from the citizens perspective. I love everything about arts, cinema, music and Brazilian culture and hope to share that with other people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed the Láscar Vulcan in the region of Calama, Chile. The peak is 5500m (16500ft, I guess) above sea level. It was the most amazing experience I've ever had

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching. I've worked for a year as a math, physics and chemistry teacher and it was an awesome experience. I'd love to teach anything art or Brazilian-related that I know. Also, I'm 100% open to learning new things from people and would love to learn local culture-related stuff.
