Hi! I am Yuri, a brazilian student living in Australia in 2016.

I am from the south of Brazil, originally from Rio Grande do Sul State. I grew up in Minas do Leão, a small town in the states's country. In 2012 I moved to live in Porto Alegre (the capital of the state) with one of my brothers to work and study. In the beginning of 2014, I decided to do an exchange to improve my english and to have more experience of life. So, I decided to work hard and travel to Australia...and here I am in 2016!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to find some cool people and cool places to stay when it be necessary. I like to know new stories of life and share my mind and thoughts.

I am new on this.

Interests

I like my area of studying (Business, administration), I love music (actually, I am a Drummer too), I love to go out and discover new places with friends, drinking and eating something good. I also enjoy to discuss politics and social questions (withou t being a crazy guy who thinks these questions are resumed to "right" or "left").

I love sports, I am "green belt" in Karate Shotokan I am proud of this. I like to play football as many brazilians and I also like to play and watch tennis.

I am very interested in history too.
