Hi, I’m David Oliveira, a 22-year-old from Brazil with a passion for exploring new cultures and seeking new experiences. I work at a campsite, where I’m constantly surrounded by nature—something I truly love. I’m also an avid traveler who enjoys making friends and learning from the people I meet along the way.

I love cooking and sharing typical Brazilian dishes, so it’s always a pleasure to offer a meal I’ve prepared. I’m fascinated by languages, and right now, I’m working on improving my English and learning French, which makes international travel even more exciting for me.

I have an adventurous spirit and always aim to make every travel experience unique and memorable. This October, I’ll be fulfilling one of my biggest dreams: celebrating my birthday in Paris, right in front of the Eiffel Tower. I believe that meeting new people and experiencing life like a local, even for a short time, makes every trip even more special.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I want to make my travels more authentic and enriching. I’m eager to connect with locals, learn more about the cultures I’m visiting, and get valuable tips and insights. Staying with someone who lives in the destination offers a unique opportunity to share experiences, create meaningful memories, and truly immerse myself in the local way of life.

Interests

My major interests include exploring new cultures, learning about different ways of life, and experiencing new emotions. I’m passionate about traveling and love meeting new people and making friends around the world. I also have a deep love for nature, which leads me to work at a campsite and enjoy being in touch with the environment.

Additionally, I’m fascinated by languages and am dedicated to improving my English and learning French. Cooking is another big passion of mine; I enjoy preparing traditional Brazilian dishes and sharing recipes with others. These interests drive me to seek out authentic and enriching experiences during my travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most incredible thing I’ve ever done was allowing myself to truly live again. After going through a long battle with depression, I learned the true meaning of love, especially self-love. This journey taught me to appreciate life and find joy in each moment.

One of my greatest achievements was stepping out of my comfort zone and moving to a different country. It was a decision that challenged me in ways I couldn’t have imagined, but it helped me grow immensely. Today, I see this journey as one of the most important in my life because it gave me the chance to restart and rediscover who I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts laughter, joy, a rich exchange of experiences, and incredible energy. I’m excited to share fun moments and create special memories together!
