Hello! I’m Bruno 👋

I’m a Brazilian guy who has been calling Japan home for more than 20 years.
I decided to take a gap year in 2025 to travel, meet people, and experience new cultures…
I’m an actor and a quality control specialist in the automotive industry (yes, quite a mix!).

I’d describe myself as a balance between introverted and extroverted, I love connecting with people and having nice conversations, but I also value my alone time.

Nature is my happy place. I’m passionate about animals, beaches, hiking, and anything that lets me enjoy the outdoors. That said, I’m equally happy staying at home, doing nothing, just watching movies or listening to music.

I’m always open to trying new things and picking up new hobbies. Oh, and I love sports! The only problem? I’m absolutely terrible at all of them (but that doesn’t stop me from having fun!).

My CS Red Flags 🚩

- Ghosters who never reply.
- Serial decliners with zero words attached.
- And my personal favorite: guys who “don’t host men, don’t meet men”… but magically find it okay to stay with men when it saves them money. Bravo. 👏

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I enjoy stepping out of my routine, meeting people from different places and having real and nice conversations. If I could, I’d be traveling nonstop, but since that’s not always possible, I hit the road whenever I can. I’m into genuine experiences, the kind you get by sharing a meal or a random story with someone local. That’s why I’m here. Nothing against hotels, but I’ll always pick a good chat in someone’s kitchen over a generic breakfast buffet.

音乐、电影和书籍

So, here’s a fun fact: a few years ago, I actually lost all my memory, yeah, like a real life plot twist! I’ve gotten it back now (thankfully), but when it comes to books and movies, some things are still a bit fuzzy. So I’ve been re-reading and re-watching stuff like I’m discovering them all over again.

I won’t go into too much detail here but if we vibe, I might just share that wild chapter of my life with you. No spoilers tho!

When it comes to music, I like pretty much everything as long as it’s not just screaming.
Recently I’ve been listening to R&B, Soul, Indie, Jazz, Brazilian MPB…

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Bathing and hugging an elephant in Thailand was an experience I will never forget!
Do not ride them, btw.

教，学，和分享

I speak Japanese, English, and Portuguese, so if you want to practice or exchange any of these, I’ll be happy to help!

Warning ⛔️
I come with chaotic stories, embarrassing moments and bad jokes…proceed at your own risk!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I’ll save you the disappointment of tasting my food(I’m a good assistant tho!). I can share stories, walk your dog (or let them walk me?), and if you have a cat, no problem, I’m a master at petting and meowing them back!
Ok, I might have some quirky skills, but I’m honest, respectful, and ready to be a good guest.
That’s a good start, right?
