About Me

I am recently graduated on Environmental Engineering and I currently work as environmental consultant. I chose this degree cause I believe in my purpose on performing it, it has a strong meaning for me. I used to study a different course, but after years of struggling with something that clearly wasn't for me, I've decided to drop off. I had to start all over again yet currently I love what I do.
I have a healthy life style, I enjoy eating well on my daily basis and I do some kind of physical exercise at least once a day. This really makes your mind freer and fresh.
I've lived in Brisbane, Australia, for 1 and a half year . Since that, I had some great opportunities to travel around. I’ve been in 15 counties overal and it feels like an incredible journey has just started.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing creates an amazing opportunity to get to know new places and nice people all around the world. I'm interested in hanging out with my hosts and with other surfers and listen their histories as well. I like to hear about the place from local people, so much better than any digital source.

Interests

I love to meet new people anywhere I go. I'm also interested in local food, cause eating it makes me feel like really into the place, getting to experience the local culture.
In addition, I'm interested in environmental issues, ways of conservation, water use, ways of recycling and any other matter related to the environment/nature.
I also like to talk about music and compositions, to play guitar and to have a cold beer while doing all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any good music, especially played on a guitar, on a balcony, while sharing a couple of beers :)
Breaking Bad addicted. I love series and I can’t picture a break from work with no Netflix interaction. lol
I love biographies and suspense histories either. When it comes to books I prefer reading stories rather than motivational content.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crossed half world to have my dreams coming true. That is still unbelievable to me! So far I did skydive and a Maori tattoo in the same day, at 2 hour interim. Adrenaline you’d say. I crossed a country by car and an Island by bike, in Indonesia, where by the way I could hike an active volcano. I went through a flooding and thunderstorm in Fiji (visiting the Casteway scenario). Sorry I can’t choose one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences about the places I have been and the excitements I had there. I also always have tips about low cost trips lol
I'm always keen to learn new vocabulary and words, especially in English whereas they are useful for me, and I can teach you some Portuguese (my mother tongue) if you're interested.
Someday I'll speak german. And play piano. Maybe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm friendly and easy going, willing to share the place I live with people with the same features, besides honest, tidy and clean. I'm very talkative and me and my flatmates enjoy socialising on the kitchen and living room.
We can hang out and I can show you some of my favourites spots on Brisbane, and luckily we can head up to the beach and enjoy the heavens we have nearby.
