Not able to host anyone at the moment!

I'm an outgoing guy from Porto Alegre, don't you know where it is? It's in the very south of Brazil.
I am good at making friends and I love learning and travelling. I'm talkative, sometimes a bit too much, but at the same time I'm a good listener.
I Love having new information from different perspectives because I agree with the idea that life is an Eternal School.

Besides that... I love cooking, Brazilian and Italian are my favourites.
But I love to taste new stuff! I eat anything but animals entrails (yeah, the guts)
I also love beer, hence my profession.
Wine comes just after I would say, but not into winemaking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first contact with couchsurfing was during my gap year in Ireland (2012), where I just participated in CS meetings. I already had a CS account, but before that I never really used it, 1 or 2 meeting maybe.
It was in 2013, in Uruguay and Argentina where I first surfed, it was just an amazing experience.

Now I try through CS to meet interesting people for having smart chats and great time together. Both as a surfer or as host I not only enjoy to spend time with people that have something in common with me but also people that are completely the opposite. Diverging ideas and different cultures are amazing things to find out, I just expect you to be open-minded and not have any kind of prejudice. I am the kind of person who can be friends with anyone, no matter if you are white or black, poor or rich, gay or straight etc...

Religion is also not a problem, but I must say that anyone extremely into a religion or faith tend to not be my kind of people and I do believe that is drinking beer (and not milk) the best way of making new friends.

Listen to almost anything.
Read most of the time magazines, journals, news, not too much into big books, usually incapable of finishing them. I am bit o geo/history geek so I will probably know a lil bit from the place where are you from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost for a day with no food, mobile or water in a subtropical peninsula in the south of Brazil! For a second I thought my life was gonna end that day, hopefully it hasn't and I am here, ready for another Island!

Teach, Learn, Share

Fluent in English, nearly fluently Italian and Spanish and Portuguese is my native language. I can also communicate in French!
I would love to improve the languages that I speak, learn new words but sometimes is hard to study a language on your own! So always when I travel to the place that I need to use one of the languages above, I enjoy chatting, the fastest way to improve a language in my opinion!
I'm a bad teacher but I'm free to teach some Portuguese if you want.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking and picking up a great beer if the shops nearby have one!
