About Me

Architecture student at University of Brasilia. Had the best time couchsurfing in Europe whilst doing an Erasmus at The University of Salford in England. I love travelling, making music and meeting new people. That's what I love about couchsurf: to meet local people and exchange experiences with a nice talk, meal or beer :)

I also need to practise my english so CouchSurfing fits me better for foreign people other then brazillian :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I won't lie. I started couchsurfing to save a but more of money on my trips BUT I have realized how good it is to meet locals and how valuable are those experiences between people from different countries.

Interests

I'm very interested in getting to know the history, food, people, architecture, culture, etc of everywhere I travel. Specially in Europe where these cultures are extremely close to each other geographicaly and still are so diverse

Music, Movies, and Books

Tame Impala, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Marley, Bon Iver, Elliot Smith, Explosions In The Sky, The Smiths, The Strokes...

Wes Anderson is my favourite director that's for sure but I like all sorts of movies apart from horror/terror stuff like that :p

When I'm not reading architecture related stuff, I enjoy reading literature like Tolkien, Bernard Cornwell...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I play the guitar since I was 9-10! if you play any instrument or have a spare instrument we can make some music which is something I really enjoy in life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange experiences in music as well as with photographs of places I've and you've been. Cooking is always nice to show what I know of Brazillian food and to get new recipes or spices from any country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually buy some wine to offer the host as a gift :)

Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom
