Hey! I'm a brazilian international relations student in Rio de Janeiro. I am actually from the countryside of São Paulo in Brazil but I went to Rio to study and really experience how it is to live in a city so beautiful and complex such as Rio.
Currently I am an exchange student in Padua, Italy and I want to get the most out of this experience, travelling and meeting new people (and studyng of course haha).
Well, but I'm basically a really relaxed guy trying to get the most out of life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Firstly, because I think it is one of the best ways of travelling and knowing the places that you are going, since you get to know people that live there for some time who can give a real idea of how it is to live at that place.
Also, one of the things that I love the most is to meet different people, hear different opinions and perspectives. For me this is one of the more enriching experiences you can have when you're travelling :)

Interests

I pretty much love to travel and photography which is one of my newest passions.
I am very easygoing, so I'm pretty much down for anything, either for partys or simply sit and talk (preferably with a drink in hand haha).

I love discussing history and politics - being international relations one of my favorite topics. Also, I really enjoy talking about culture and sharing a little bit of my own :)

And as I said before, I love meeting new people and having interesting conversations with them :)

I competed in several regional and state swimming tournaments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and learning languages.
And if there is food involved is even better so I am free to cook anything and learn some new local recipes.

There is always the Brazilian traditional cousine and also I would be glad to offer my place when I go back to Rio :)
