Hi, my name is Gabriel and I'm from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. I'm 26 years old and just moved to Galway 3 weeks ago. I'm still getting used to the irish accent, please irish, don't hate me, but it's hard, haha. In my past 2 years, I lived in Mexico, Guadalajara and worked in a packaging company in the marketing area. Back to Brazil, I worked in a innovation consultant company for 1,5 years. I love to talk about design thinking, service, customer experience, but I'm also addict in astronomy, physics and space stuff, tough the concepts of time and space, I never got it, if you know, please explain me. I'm really into music, so I like samba, rock, heavy metal, folk and indie. I play drums as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
