Hey! I am Eduardo, I was born in Brazil and am 25 years old. I swam since I was very young and made the national team in three opportunities. Due to my athletic performance I obtained a scholarship at the University of Hawaii, where I studied and swam for 5 years. Currently I am a United Nations intern in Geneva and will be here for the next six months. Switzerland is very beautiful. Since being here I've eaten fondue in Bienne, climbed Üetliberg in Zurich, discovered the traditional Gruyere village, had wine while enjoying Lavaux's beautiful views, hiked the Saleve, slept in a 300 years old house in the Jura and other adventures. I am excited to visit other cities in the country. I am very chilled and laid back person. I love traveling, to meeting new people and to have a good conversation. I am new to Couch Surfing and it would be a pleasure to have a Skype talk before visiting your home! Obrigado :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and to meet people. Couch surfing will enable me to travel inexpensively and to make friends around the world!

Interests

I am Brazilian and I love soccer (Champions League specially)! I enjoy going to the beach, practising sports, drinking a cold beer with fun people, being in nature, meditating in the mornings to balance myself, going out with friends to bars. One thing that I love the most is meeting great people, which I can learn from and share ideas and experiences. I'm very curious person and think the world is amazing. So why not to go around and enjoy it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: electronic (House, Trance...) , rap (Tyga, PNL...) , reggae (Bob Marley!), classic rock (the Police...), Brazilian music (sertanejo...) and other genres depending on my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a finalist at the World Junior Championships for Swimming in 2011 (17yo). It was a dream of mine swimming at that meet and participating took a lot of training and mental/physical pain. I will be very proud of this achievement through my whole life.
I also lived in Hawaii for 5 years. Its a beautiful, magical place and if you haven't been there I definitely recommend visiting!
I will keep the rest for later when we meet ;)
