ABOUT ME

Well, Im a sportie. special education PE major at Long Beach State and I play all (Eu jogo tudo). I like to tickle the strings as well as the keys and enjoy a good harmony when I hear one. I love to travel and love to do it with as many adventures and stories to tell as possible. I am a firm believer in hospitality, like it used to be in the old days and hate that hitch-hiking is illegal. Like the Beatles said, I get by with a little help from my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Pura Vida

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I have surfed many a couch but only a few formally. I was already an experienced surfer by the time I realized this site existed, and figure I should go Pro.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Shoot, the Italians brought the entire village to come and bbq with us in their back yard. I will never forget Fonzy and the crew in Dugenta. In Fernando de Noronha, I was hosted by a family for a week that has never heard of couchsurfing but had read Hebrews 13:2. I was out in the rain with no plan or reservation but they were more than happy to make a lifelong friend. I just want to gain more experiences like these.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran with the bulls, bungee jumped, hiked an alp, bodysurfed with stingrays, touched a shark, won a volleyball tournament, stopped all three penalties in a shootout, quase aprendi falar uma outra idioma, saw an octopus in the wild, started a band and played a show in the span of a week, motorcycled PCH for 5 hundred miles or so, Lost the keys to the rental car while rope-swinging into the river, flagged down the cops, had a guy break into our car, hotwire it, made new keys, locked ourselves out again, called him again, and returned the car, sem problemas, Made a bunch of great friends in elementary school and kept them for more than 10 years...truly amazing.
