Hi, there!

My name is João Pedro, but I go by JP (I've come to learn my name is too hard to pronounce by non-Portuguese speakers :P). I'm a 30-year-old Brazilian with a lot of energy and disposition to visit and get to know the whole world and the amazing things we can learn from different cultures around the globe. I'm not a heavy drinker, but I can be the fun of the party - love to dance and interact with different people. I'm a very active person, love to enjoy whatever life offers us. I love sports, staying active, mens sana in corpore sano philosophy type of guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but I'm not really into tourist-y things. Whenever I go somewhere, I like to immerse myself in the place's culture, live that city's life, and what better way to do that than as a guest at a local's place?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've dropped everything (house, job, money, family, friends) to be with someone I loved. Twice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not a fancy cook, but I can make mean comfort food. My cheesecake is to die for. I also work as a DJ, so I have a huge music collection in my hard drive that I'm more than willing to share. I'm very thorough with cleaning, not only my room but the whole house if necessary - I'm really good at it and would have fun doing it. I'm also a great listener, no subject is boring to me, so if you want someone to grab a coffee and talk with, I'm definitely your guy. =)
