CURRENT MISSION

To live, learn, and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Brazil, but currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It has been a long time dream of mine to be a doctor in the United States, and it's what I'm currently working towards. I love medical science and above all I love helping people, so being a doctor is the perfect career!

One day soon I hope to travel the world with my wife. Actually we decided to skip the formal wedding to afford a trip to Africa and Asia!

PHILOSOPHY

Anything is possible with hope and determination!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While my wife (fellow couchsurfer Melissa Nesbit) live in a small apartment, we at times can host. I have family in Brazil, and would love to host there as well! When I can't host, I can also show people around, or meet for dinner or drinks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first hosting experience was 2 years ago when I hosted my friend (now wife) at the home of my family in Brazil. While traveling I've hung out with a few CSers. I've loved every experienced with Couchsurfing so far!

Interests

Reading, learning, languages, capoeira, hiking, and perfecting my spaghetti and meatball recipe!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to mention-one day I will have a library in my home filled with all my favorite books and movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've helped a lot of Brazilian doctors live their dream of coming to America to be a doctor. As far as things that I have seen-The Metropolitan Museum in NYC, MIT and Harvard in Boston, the Smithsonian Museums in DC, and the Pittsburgh skyline (really-it's beautiful).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching! I can teach some capoeira moves, or some Portuguese or Spanish. If you are lucky, I can even teach you my perfected recipe for spaghetti and meatballs!
