ABOUT ME

https://instagram.com/salimrpedro/

Please, read my profile carefully.

I'm no longer hosting people for a while*

I like teaching people about the history of my hometown.

I'm also a language enthusiast, if you're able to share a bit of your knowledge on any language with me this will be much appreciated!

I'm really into chatting and if you are anything like me, we're going to have a great time together, and hey, maye we become great friends? I always try to be nice and I would appreciate if you do the same.

I'm very open-minded guy, so I'm always down to chat about anything. We can talk about culture, politics, educational system in a very democratic and respectful way.

I've been hosted once in Brasília and ever since I felt like giving it back in some way. I like being able to help out. If you ever need a hand, count on me. I sometimes work as a tour guide in the Lençóis Maranhenses areas, so I can give you good suggestion of where to go.

If you're a foreigner but you'd rather speak in Portuguese either because you've already lived in Brazil or because you want to practice it, it's fine by me.

I live with both my parents, and they do not speak a word in English, so it would be nice of you to try and learn a bit of Portuguese because I will not be around all the time.

I work everyday, but I usually have my nights free to hang out or have a drink.
Please, ask before using the TV or the computer, and DO NOT enter my room under any circumstances. It's a private area of the house.
