Overview
About Me
I love nature and I cant imagine my life without sports. I daily train Brazilian jiu-jitsu 💪🏼🇧🇷 I love eating fruits I mean Is almost all I eat I follow a full plant based diet it's quite a challenge but I love it.
MISSION
On March 2019 me and a friend are going for a few months to the United States to train and compete Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. A lot of brazilians went to the west coast during the past 90´s so California may be called a new Mecca of Jiu Jitsu, thats why we would love to stay there as long as we can and also to share some good moments with the Couch Surfing community over there.
We are also planing to visit New York and Hawaii.
If you want to support our journey dont hesitate and send me a message :D

Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to teach you some jiu jitsu We have a tatame or mat at my place instead a living room so bring it on.
Food is something that bring us together as society and is one of my passions in life so I'll be happy to show you this raw food diet I follow. Don't get me wrong I won't preach you about veganism or anything I respect all ways of life all my family eat meat.
A good conversation is also something very appreciated by me it's the real meaning of life to share your beliefs and dreams with other people that's why I do CS.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My house is shared with 2 more friends, we have a nice home with a good vibe, we all speak english and would be happy to recive you if we can.
It would be nice to share at least one meal prepared by me so you can experience a different kind of nutrition.
