I was born in a small town 80km outside Belo Horizonte (BH), Minas Gerais capital. Living in BH since 2007, I'm a curious, talkative, fun, down-to-earth guy who loves to travel and talk about traveling. I surfed couches in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. I hosted surfers from Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Spain, Chile and The Netherlands. All of them were very positive experiences.

PHILOSOPHY: "Be happy every single day".

PERMANENT MISSION: "Get to know at least one more capital of Brazil's states every year". Status: 13/27.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS to share my experiences with people of any kind and from anywhere. No matter if surfing or hosting, I enjoy being with people who embrace CS philosophy.

Interests
