Exchange student currently living in Japan. Grandson of japanese immigrants, that's probably why I chose to study here.

Before coming to Japan, I was working full time for three years to a big multinational company in the telecommunications business. My exchange program doesn't allow me to work, so I'm currently just studying and visiting new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly cultural exchange and visiting new places without spending all of my hard earned gold.

Interests

Games, anime, taiko (japanese drum), miniature models, photography and technology. Also improving my cooking skills.

Not much a movies guy, but I enjoyed Harry Potter (movies) and some 90's Pixar animations. For books, I really like Dan Brown, Agatha Christie and Haruki Murakami.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mt. Fuji by the third (out of five) hardest route without any experience in mountain climbing. It was very reckless but I did it and saw one of the most amazing sights of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you brazilian portuguese and english. I don't have a degree on that, but I can probably help you with your studies. I can also help you with your computer, smartphone, tablet or piece of technology, because hey, that's what I'm supposed to be learning in college (laughs).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some habits and traditions that japanese immigrants brought to Brazil and are infused in the world's biggest japanese community outside of Japan. Maybe I can teach you some taiko beats too.
