About Me

Hello! I'm a recently graduated economist from Brazil, and I'm looking forward to accomplish something that I wasn't able to do in the recent past: traveling. I don't have much travelling experience (my longest trip was to Buenos Aires for a few days and no, Buenos Aires is not in Brazil) but I hosted some foreigners at my apartment a couple times, and made really good friends in the process. Now I am the one who's travelling, and I hope to have an experience as good as I tried to offer to my guests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing can be an unique experience for young travellers that are searching not just a place to crash, but also to have the experience of becoming part of such a great community of cultural and social exchange.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really into rock, metal and almost everything related to that. I'm a wanna-be musician (I play guitar, bass guitar and singer) and a curious about everything related to music of (almost) all kinds. Also, I enjoy movies a lot, specially those that makes you think for a little while (trying not to sound pretentious).
I like books very much too, specially about economics and history. I like fiction too, but I'm struggling to find time to read those. It's a work in progress.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to not getting robbed for more than two years in a row. That's impressive for someone that lives in my city.

Also I went to Buenos Aires with my cousin when I was younger, withou much money and no plans at all. It was very nice and adventurous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar, portuguese and some of brazilian culture, specially about my region in Brazil, wich is very different from the rest of the country. I always like to learn about the native culture wherever I go, and look forward to share my life experience if I have the chance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can have long conversations about a bunch of matters: geek stuff, beers, music and culture, But I can be a good partner for several beers!
