NOTE: I am currently travelling and then I am going back to Brazil. I don't live in Marseille anymore .

Hello! I hope I can resume the my main informations here!

I was born and raised in Brazil and lived mainly in a small city in the State of São Paulo, although I was born in the State of Mina Gerais, both localized in the south-east region of the country.

I study at the University of São Paulo, doing my 4th year in Business Management (In Brazil, the bachelor lasts 5 years). In Marseille, however, I'm doing courses of master in management, mainly focusing in economic courses. I finish my course within the 1st semester of 2017, and then I come back to Brazil.

During my bachelor I passed through big changes in my life and my will to travel has increased, due to these main reasons: (1) to develop my spirituality - to be a better person. (2) to get rid of local point of views and costumes - in order to understand and appreciate every culture. (3) to meet new people and make friends. (4) to learn - languages, politics, mores, etc. (5) and mainly, maybe find a bigger purpose for my personal life.

I have no religion and consider myself an agnostic, although I am extremely interested in religions and DO NOT prejudice any religion. I appreciate the zen buddhism philosophy and I am trying to practice meditation everyday, but still have much to improve.

I enjoy any kind of games, love reading, theater, movies and my biggest passion is music. I am Brazilian but I do not play football. Actually I am not good in any sport. I like to swim :D

I like going to bars and pubs, not much night clubs. Beer is my favourite drink.

Love nature, riding bycicles and hiking.

I used to live in a fraternity house with more 17 guys.

Curiosity, haha: Once a spider bit me, in 2016. I was in a very undeveloped place in Brazil and I thought I would pass away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believed I explained everything in other sections. Hope you have patience to read it all!

However, the resume:

"During my bachelor I passed through big changes in my life and my will to travel has increased, due to these main reasons: (1) to develop my spirituality - to be a better person.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a true passion for me, I also play drums, guitar and a little of bass. I am into almost all kind of music genres , mainly: Rock, Hard Rock, Blues, Jazz, Samba, Bossa Nova, Metal, Ska, Reggae, Soul, MPB, Classic... and pop :D.

I am not the biggest movie fan, although I watch movies frequently. It is hard to chose which are my favourite movies. I really like Watchmen, Hobbit (and movies with medieval/fantasy themes), V for Vendetta, Dead Poets Society (and pretty much other movies with Robin Williams), Pirates of Caribbean, and so on. Also like animations. I do not like "empty" movies and terror movies.

I am always reading something but, being honest, I generally forget what I have read :( The ones I can remember and I really enjoyed are: The Red and the Black, by Stendhal, Frankenstein, Dracula, Victory , by Joseph Conrad, Learning to Live, by Luc Ferry and The Constitution of Liberty, by Hayek.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life itself is amazing, every experience is valid :D
But here is experiences I believe were very important to me:

English course in 2012, Fullerton California - It was my first big experience abroad.

Living in a fraternity house for 2 years, with more 17 guys. Of course, we became very close, as brothers. I learned a lot of compassion, understandment, patience and responsibility. (2015, 2016)

Being a team leader at a youth social organization called Enactus, for 1 year. I was director of human resources and the team had, at the time, more than 100 members. It was a big experience and it's really hard to put here everything I learned. (2015, 2016)

Doing social work in Bahrain, through AIESEC, lecturing about managemet, entrepreneurship and leadership to high school and basic school students. (45 days, from december to february 2015-2016).

Travelling to Peru and learning about the Incas. Many personal questions appeared to me during that travel. (2016)

My exchange here in Marseille, France. It's my biggest experience in duration. I met many different people from all around the world. Developed my english and french, learned much. (2017)

I have pictures of these stuff on my profile :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Everything possible!

I'm into letting conversations to flow. My main interest is to talk with my hosts and guests, to hang out, to hike, to drink, in order to share everything both parties would like to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I guest, I'd love to share some drinks, food and conversation, either at home or at some place in the city, as a pub, bar, etc. :) I can cook and I'd be glad for paying a round of drinks to whom is hosting me.

As a host, the same, I can share everything I got at home and I have a posture of letting the guest deciding whatever he/she would like to do, and I also would love to show the city where I'm located, when I have time to do so :)
