Overview
About Me
I've lived my whole life in an island in the south of Brazil, Florianópolis while doing freelance software developing for other companies. After graduating, I decided to look for a fixed job. Brazil was in a particularly bad moment so I started to look outside. Germany always attracted me, Berlin made sense for the number of startups and the chance of starting a job in English at the time. I've been living in Berlin since 2015, experiencing the city - something that does not exhausts given the amount of different things to do here.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Interests
Programming is also my hobby. I like to play with my Raspberry Pi & Arduino collection. Automated plant watering was my last project.
I've been hitting the gym (first spinning then lifting weights) for the last year and enjoying the evolution. Previously thought it was boring, but going with a plan gives you a daily motivation to improve yourself continuously.
I like to read a lot, but usually shorter texts - about politics, history, software development, life stories. My reading list in Pocket & Facebook is huge (and growing).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My first trip to Germany was a life-changing experience. It was like entering a tunnel as one person and coming out a different person on the other side. The cultural shock still has ripple effects on who I am today.

I can teach a bit of programming and software. Also Brazilian Portuguese (which is different from Portugal's).
