I'm a brazilian journalist currently living in Galway, Ireland. I left my country few months ago to improve my English here; at the same time I decided make more trips around Europe. I guess in two or three years I will go back to Brazil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is a good way to make new friends in different countries and a great form to know other cultures.

Interests

I'm interested in visit different places, local restaurants, enjoy typical drink and food. I'm looking for new personal experiences.

• dining
• drinking
• journalism

Music, Movies, and Books

It's a long list, but I prefer classical movies and european cinema. My favorite writer probably is the portuguese José Saramago (Literature Nobel in 1998).
About music: It's hard to explain to other people when I say "Yes, I'm brazilian and I don't like samba. And soccer." (In compensation, I am able to prepare probably the best caipirinha in the whole world.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my last job. I used to be a employee of brazilian government. Some people in Brazil wishes to become a employee of government. And when you leave a job like this, people from Brazil will say "Oh, you are really crazy".

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good advices about cheap trips; I have huge knowledge about Latin America and visited places like Machu Picchu, Titicaca Lake, Salar de Uyuni, Patagônia etc. And I can teach Portuguese and Spanish too.
