My name is, as you see, André Padilha.

I am a engineering student from UFABC, a university located in Santo André - SP, BRAZIL. I really love to travel, maybe it is my biggest passion. I really enjoy every kind of trip, all of them have their special characteristics (cities, beachs, forest, all).

I really like to study and I amliving in the USA for one year now just to do so. I really want to connect to people, see new places, new cultures and enjoy this opportunity.

I consider myself a funny guy, very friendly (a little bit shy at the first half an hour when we do not know each other very well), a very trustful person and who gives my friendships the best value they can get.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am willing to meet people, travel, see the Northern Lights, and not only study while in the USA. I want to make it a wonderful experience. Unfortenaly I am not living alone at the moment, I have a roommate, so I can't host anyone here :/
But possibly in Brazil I could host people and show them my passion -> São Paulo

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can share all my experiences from working with my father at his car retailer (got some very nice stories).
I am able to teach you anything I know. I really like teaching things to people. I can't think at this moment of something I could teach you, but I could at least try to motivate you to learn some things when I talk about them!
Finally, I will learn anything you can teach me, I am a very curious person.
