CURRENT MISSION

Hi! I'm a Civil Engineering student from Brazil currently studying in Porto, Portugal. IMPORTANT: I'm leaving Portugal on the 16 of july, so don't make any requests for dates after that.

ABOUT ME

It's hard to talk about myself, but let's give it a try. I consider myself an easy going and open-minded person (the two most cliché adjectives around, but why not?). One thing I love? Going for coffee and having a good talk about movies, books and politics. I have my views and I like to find people that disagree with me so we can have a profitable (and respectful) discussion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people from different cultures feels like traveling without doing so, and CS makes this happen! Last year I did an amazing (to say the least) solo eurotrip and tried it for the first time. Back then I thought it was just about finding a place to stay for free but it's much more than that. We are a community and we are supposed to exchange (knowledge, stories, experiences) and evolve.

I'm forever in debt with the people that hosted me and I feel I can payback by hosting other people. That's what CS is all about, making friends everywhere and exchanging!

Interests

To meet new people, enjoy the little things and of course, play my ukulele! Also coffee.

• marathon
• politics
• movies
• socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Tarantino, Nolan, Scorsese, Iñárritu, Hitchcock, Kubrick

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running a marathon and definitely my other trips to Europe. I've met great people and seen places that I have always dreamt of visiting. Also living by myself in a different country, by far the most aggregative experience to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Exchange knowledge, experiences, stories. I like to talk a lot and have a good time, have fun.

I don't wanna be a pain in the a**, but please, make your request personal. Say something about our common tastes and interests. I, as a host, don't like to feel as just another person that you are only seeking a couch to sleep on. Also, write "Panda" at the end of your message so I know you have read all my profile.
