I'm a chemical engineer from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. I did an exchange studies in Hungary, where I had the opportunity to meet a lot of different cultures and travel to a lot of places in Europe! Now I am living in Darmstadt, where I intend to host people and also be able to travel more through Europe! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is perfect because, as a guest, you really know the place that you are visiting and, as host, you can make the world come to you when sometimes you can't travel. It's amazing how it allows you to make friends in the whole world :)

If the host and the guest have respect and communication with each other, it can't go wrong

Interests

I like a lot of sports like skateboard volley, football, handball (doesn't mean I am not good at them hahaha). I am more a movie person, but I like series too. I love meet new places and people, talk about science, philosophy or history and going out with friends to have a beer!

I would love to tell a little about my country and culture and hear about yours as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost any kind of music :)

I love books about history or personal development. The kind of book you feel that you learned something important for your life.

I like different types of movies. My favourites are "A Clock Work Orange", "Memento" and "Inglourious Basterds". My favourite director is Christopher Nolan but I like also Tarantino and Scorsese. About series, I really love the Office and Rick and Morty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went from Hungary to Romania by bike

Also I spent one week doing CouchSurfing in Germany, which was absolutely an amazing experience for me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk a little about Brazil's culture and my travel stories! Actually we can talk about anything hahaha
I'm not really a good cooker, but I can help to prepare something and for sure I can wash the dishes :)
