I'm from a little island in the south of Brazil called Florianópolis. In the last decade, it became a hip place not only for Brazilians but also for many foreigners.

Since childhood, I've been accustomed to living with people from different countries and cultures. When I was four years I had my first international experience living in Boulder (CO) and going to an American kindergarten; the year was 1991. Later on, when I was ten I had another great experience going to an international school in the Netherlands where I became best friends with a kid from Cameroon, one from Jamaica and one from Australia.

In my university years, during one of my summer breaks, I went to work in the American winter for a ski resort. I met two famous personalities, will kind of famous, Roger Water's manager and a comedian named David Spade which I only recognized from a really bad movie, but later people told me that he was kinda famous. Also during university, I studied a semester in Norway, very near the arctic circle, a city called Trondheim. Norwegian people are the best!

I'm a social person. I like hanging out with my friends. I love playing my acoustic guitar, especially Oasis songs. I'm also really into coding and computers. I love nature. Going to cafes and watching people. I really love interacting with people outside of Brazil, I always learn so much. In the end, I'm always amazed about how humans beings can be so similar even coming from opposites sides of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the CS community and what it stands for. I'm here so I can socialize with locals from the cities I visit.
