Why I’m on Couchsurfing

PHILOSOPHY

"A man needs to travel. On his own risk, not through stories, images, books or TV. Needs to travel on his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his.

This way, one day he can plant his own trees and value them. Know the cold to enjoy the warm. And the other way around. Feel the distance and lack of protection in order to feel comfortable under his own roof.

A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us believe in the world as we imagine it, and not as it is or as it could be; that make us professors and doctors of what we haven't seen, when we should be pupils and simply go and see...."

Amyr Klink, Brazilian explorer

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy good music, I can listen any kind but I have my favorites of course! I can spend a day watching movies my favorites are drama, suspense and science fiction, but I can enjoy a smart comedy and a good action!

Teach, Learn, Share

I once made a friend in Guatemala, a traveler who had visited over 40 countries, but she had never been to Brazil. When I asked her why, she said, "Brazil seems so intimidating to me". On the other hand, I was contacted by a friend of a friend from Turkey who was in Brazil. Unfortunately, he had a rough start in São Paulo and ended up cutting his trip short. His challenges included choosing a neighborhood that didn’t suit his needs, struggling to buy a SIM card, and having difficulties communicating with locals.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to share the true gems of Brazil—or Brasil, in Portuguese, Brasil (with an "S"). And just a reminder: we don’t speak Spanish here—our language is Portuguese.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I’m happy to help!
