Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for places to stay when traveling abroad. And looking to give shelter for some english speaking people, so i can make friends and improve my english skills.

I can pretty much have guests in my house anytime of the year, except when i'm traveling. I love my city, and i'd gladly help out anyone who wants to enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost every travel i did was by myself, but the most adventurous one started as the simplest one. I went to São Paulo for a festival in 2011, called SWU that was going to happen in Paulínia, in São Paulo's countryside. I went with some friends and other ramdom people i've met, but during Sonic Youth's show we got separated, and i went to see Primus, other people went to Megadeth's show. Eventually i met them before Alice In Chains started playing, but lost them again during Faith No More's show (the best one of the night). When the band finished, the festival ended and i was lost, without my friends or their ride to go back to the city. I only had 5R$ in my pocket, it was raining and it was 3 AM. I had to wait until morning to get some bus. I couldn't even get desperate cause i was really tired and my clothes were soaked. Eventually i managed to walk until a bus stop and after hours of waiting i took the bus to the nearest city, where i managed to find a bus station and a cash atm machine. The only problem remaining was time, i had to get to São Paulo fast or i'd miss my flight back home. I got lucky and took another bus to the airport and went home safely.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help on the house as much as needed. And i like to keep things organized and clean or at least how i found them. I'm very friendly, so i'll never shy away from a good chat, sharing experiences or talking about my country.
