CURRENT MISSION

My mission: To see the world...and let the world see me!!!!

ABOUT ME

What can I say? I've been addicted to traveling since I was a young kid. I loved planes and used to watch airplanes taking of imagining myself that each person on that plane had a story to tell. My first trip abroad was as a child to the Dominican Republic and I've been hooked ever since. I love to read and write. I love old movies and film and enjoy being creative. I am a sports fanatic and spend countless hours in the gym. I love adventure and having fun , but am always ready for a good nap and some peace and quite. I guess I can say I am an all around good guy. =)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live and everything will fall in its place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am back on CS, and living in Rio de Janeiro. I may be able to host, depending on when, so just send a message. And if you just want to link up for a bite, and a chat that's cool too! I know some great places to get some local food. Looking forward to hearing from you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was in Cannes, France, on the couch of an elderly French lady. I had no money, she had no friends. She invited me in for a cup of coffee. And we had a nice chat with my "broken" French. She made it clear to me that there are too many good people out there just willing to lend a hand, the fun part is finding where they are....

Interests

Sports, languages, new cultures and people, reading and just about anything that keeps my attention!! Weightlifting is a passion and something I am proud of, as is basketball and football. I love to draw, sculpt and make videos. I love to cook and eat and have never turned down a good meal. I love mid afternoon naps and adventure...
