Overview
About Me
Hey everybody! I am a respectful, friendly, cheerful, and open-minded guy. I started this great experience of Couchsurfing when I spent a semester in Europe during an Exchange Programm in Germany.
Besides studying, I play the guitar, like to cook and practice several sports and like to socialize with friends and meet new people from differents backgrounds. For me, life is compound by all those little things but extraordinary details which happen in an unexpected way.
We travel to change, not our place, but our ideas. Every person you see is fighting a battle of which you don't have idea. Be kind always.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Each person is a door for an unknown world. Couchsurfing makes possible to open many doors to many worlds.

Interests
I love sports, dancing, meeting new people and hanging out. I also love to travel around the world as much as I can. Through trips and the experiences that the tourists could share with locals, people open the mind to new cultures and new life perspectives.
Sports: I like swimming and running; recently I started to practice Tenis.. I usually train for street races like quarter of marathon or half marathon... I have recently considered a new challenge for the next year: the Iron Man Competition - one of the hardest races in the world.
I love to dance, especially the latin rhythms like "Salsa".
