Hey surfers! I dont have my own place, I live at friends and I cant welcome anyone without their approval.

Nevertheless, i invite you to hang outhl around Rio. I often go to the Beach and ride my longboard anywhere around, se can also go hiking and, if possible, climbing. So if you want to know this city better with a local "Carioca" you are welcome!

I really would like to host surfers, but i can't, maybe a place to crash.

January, 2016 (Bahia)

I'm back on road again! but I stopped a while to enjoy summer in wonderful Bahia. I got a job here and can't host anyone as I live where I work.

But I know some places around where you can do your tent camping, and I can give you some tips also about what to do and where to go around here or far away form here. :)

May, 2015 (West Coast, USA)

I enjoy outdoors activities such as hiking, climbing, kayaking, sup, and other adventure sports. I don't smoke, and I drink some beers. I also enjoy meeting new people and make new friends. I'm easygoing and love to have fun!

Now I'm trying to surf, but I'm still a beginner and I still fall every wave I drop

Philosophy: "Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be alright".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started backpacking, hiking and rock climbing through West USA last year, always going with the flow, no plans.

Since then the road never stopped, thou I went back home for a couple of months, I'm on the road again and this time exploring my country and continent.

Meeting locals and whoever crosses/joins my way is the best way to enjoy travel experiences! I'm doing my best to be opened to the others, and it's been amazing! things simply happens! It's pure magic!

And I must say that this community is awesome!

Interests

to live life with a huge passion!

Music, Movies, and Books

No filters!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Break my inner boundaries has been amazing, but I guess life began being amazing since I had my first Bungy Jump experience, back in 2011, in South Africa. Since then the adrenaline never left me and I'm always up to new amazing experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages as Portuguese, English or German. Share some rockclimbing for beginners (I'm not instructor and I also consider myself as a beginner rockclimber. I've been practicing it for 1 1/2 year.) and trapeze.

Ah! and how to meditate in the Theravada Buddhism way (I had a 7 silence days experience in Thailand once)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gratitude, cooking, friendship and help back with hosting in my town when I'm back! :)

Countries I’ve Visited
