Heeey! My name is Umberto. I'm 21 years old, and I'm currently majoring in Psychology in Brasilia (Brazil). Before that, though, I've already tried Chemistry and Photography, but didn't like it that much to finish the course. You could say I'm still figuring out what the heck I wanna do with my life hahaha. And that, perhaps, is why I travel!

I love writing, especially nonsense stories about tattoos that come to life, the secret life of cockroaches and a spider web that keeps growing and growing, and causes Earth to freeze in time (and those are the not-so-weird hahaha)

I've lived in Japan for 6 months in 2015, so I can speak a little Japanese as well. Plenty of stories to tell about that.

I love cooking! So If you teach me some local recipes, I'll remember you forever <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning a backpack trip to southeast Asia! Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Camboja and Vietnam... here I come!! There's no turning back now. I hope some amazing CouchSurfers can help me getting around and show me some good local places ^^

I can teach you some Portuguese, tell you stories about Brazil and my adventures as a foreign student in Japan (there are plenty). If you want, I could play some brazilian songs in the flute as well :D
