CURRENT MISSION

Surf.

ABOUT ME

I'm Brazilian. I came to the US 6 years ago for college. I went to a small school outside of Pittsburgh for 4 years and after graduation I moved to DC to do a Post-Bac program in Cardiovascular Technology. After that I got a job and that's where I currently live. I am bored.

PHILOSOPHY

Have less, do more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about this project from some dudes in Spain. I joined in 07 but never really participated. But now I'm on a mission to see most major US cities in one year (Summer '08 - Summer '09) and figured couch surfing will be the way to go.

Teach, Learn, Share

This one time in New Delhi I was told to buy a "faluda" from a street vendor... It was supposed to be the Indian version of an ice cream sunday. This guy then grabs a bowl, throws one scoop of ice cream in it, what seemed like strawberry jam, and no joke: spaghetti! FOR REAL! then some more ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was pretty disturbing...
