Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING One of my dearest friends, Paula Gramacho, told me about this website when she was going to her trip to Rio, in July, 2010. Since then, I just had good moments hosting people and going to meetings. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've spoke with different people of different nationalities in my home town, Portuguese, Arabs, Germans, Spanish, Italians, etc. My hometown (Florianópolis) has a lot of beauty and I like to show and talk about it with others.

Music, Movies, and Books
I prefer comedies and some horror movies (which sometimes are even funnier than comedies hahaha) But I'm no fan of movies tho' I love reading humanities and also some other best-sellers My favorite music genre are rap and hip-hop (pre 2014 especially, but nowadays there's just s#*t)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Swimming with an Anaconda in a river at Bonito-MS. It was one of the scariest too. Learned basics of tango in Buenos Aires Seeing snow for the first time in my life at Charles De Gaulle Airport on the way to Russia. Teaching Portuguese /English language in a camp for young Ukrainians Surviving as a volunteer at a haunted 'hippie' camp in Northern Argentinian Being infected with COVID and surviving with no damage to tell my story
Teach, Learn, Share
I know basically everything about my state, I've visited every single city, and I know a lot about other Brazilian cities. I can teach you about history and philosophy, some stretching, drawing lessons, a bit of boxing, learning Portuguese and so on. I want to practice my language skills and learn about different cultures.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Food, Wi-Fi, beer, free Portuguese, Spanish or English classes... dunno :)
My Interests
Anything related to history, drawing, painting, cooking, travels, etc As a whole, I'm a tranquil guy and I can talk about anything, everything.
