I'm a Brazilian guy living at Tempe, AZ. Have a huge love for traveling, music and making friends.

I'll be spending 1 year at the US, as part of an exchange program. I study Urban Planning at Arizona State University (go SunDevils!), and I love what I study. In this year I plan to visit many beautiful places and meet interesting people, as well as getting to know the local culture and ways of seeing the world and the society.

Learning is a big thing to me. I really like to listen to what you have to say about life and other things. And, if you let me, I'll have a lot to say. I always try to be very polite, respectful and kind to everyone. My friends say I'm funny, cheerful and empathetic, and that I give some nice hugs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great opportunity to exchange experiences and to make friends. I seek no luxury, just good experiences.

I'm new at this, but very excited to start =]
