I was born and raised in Salvador, Brazil and I've been living here ever since. I study electrical engineering and I love to code. I've also lived for a year in Brest, France as part of a exchange program. I love to discover the feeling of each culture and its peculiarities and I'm looking forward to meet you guys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn, share, meet cool people and, for sure, to travel as much as I can. I've always seen people travelling and sharing their experiences and I've been dreaming about it since I'm a child - well, now I've been in Europe and I guess that's my turn!

I'm here for hosting too and I'd love to meet you guys under the Brazilian sun, guide you through the nicest spots in Salvador and present you to some of my friends for us to share ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, specially space rock, prog rock, dream pop, latin music and folk world music - but any chill music with complex melody will do for me, actually. Some of my all time tops are Beirut, Gotan Project, Sigur Rós, Yes and Piazzolla (there also some local bands like Jorge Ben, Novos Baianos, Cordel do Fogo Encantado and Otto - I'll be glad to present you some of their jewels!).

I used to be really adicted to books but now I'm trying my way back into it. I've read mostly portuguese or spanish language authors such as Jorge Amado, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Gabriel García Marquez, Jorge Luís Borges, José Saramago and Guimarães Rosa (the last 4 are definitely must reads for everyone!). I dig also Jack London, George Orwell, Kafka and Bukowski. You can check out more there: https://www.goodreads.com/vhfmag

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived expat in Brest, France for a year as a engineering student :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with Portuguese and I'd definitely love to learn a little of any other language that you know. I'd also love to share music and literature tips and I would be glad to teach you some coding!
