I'm a Brazilian journalist currently studying a Master of Journalism at the University of Groningen. I just moved to the Netherlands (amazing country) after a ten-year period working as a journalist in São Paulo.

Into arts, culture and exploring new cities. Friendly and open, but introvert at the same time. : ) Although I smile, I'm a bit shy, and I am able to be on my own for long periods of time. But if I'm asking you to host me, I'll definitely be open to get to know you.

I've travelled quite a bit and don't plan to stop. After all, this is why I crossed an ocean to be where I am now.

And finally, if it matters, I'm gay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people who are passionate about the cities they live in, because it's always best to get to know a town through the eyes of a local.

Right now I'm focused on exploring the Netherlands - it's so different from my original background and so interesting. I'm definitely here to meet nice people and make friends.

I'm new on Couchsurfing, so please give me some time to get references. :-)
