I am an Aikido and Yoga instructor seeking for more knowledge about this wonderfull way of life. It is a path for peace, external and innerpeace. my website www.kenageaikido.com - I am also on facebook you could add me I am happy to be your friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know more people on their natural places, or where they choose to live, and why. To experience a different travel time, don´t enjoy very much the tourist way, but respect it. Staying in normal hotels makes you feel like an alien in some places, And in others is more chance you get confused by people trying to get advantage from you. CS is a web place, a site to connect people and than it is more possible to truly know the place you are travelling. I got to know CS buy hosting a couple from a trip we met. And today we still good friends.

I begun my CS experience in Piracicaba where we lived in fraternities we call repúblicas. I lived in 3 - 4 and stayed a while in 3 more. When I finished agriculture engineering and was without work, I went back to Sao Paulo to restart living with my family. But I wasn't ready to do it anymore, so I went couchsurfing in a friends house for about 4-5 years. I am very greatful for all this help from my friend.
