- My partner(https://couchsurfing.page.link/tAgU3C3J1SK49pVk9) and I moved to Bordeaux recently, so since we are still adapting to our new place, we can't host anyone at the moment. My profile is also absolutely not up to date since moving to another has been taking most of my time and energy.

I'm a carioca engineer, trying to figure out my road in this beautiful but chaotic, and often frustrating, world that we live in. I've travelled a bit and hope to see more of the world in the future, I recently graduated and left my home city where I used to host: Rio de Janeiro. I'm new to France and I am trying to adapt, learn the language and make friends!

Some years ago I was unhappy with the direction my life was taking, so I decided to start anew by hitchhiking around Brazil to learn more about it, to rethink my life and beliefs, and to understand a little more about myself and the world.

I'm an anarchist and an atheist, I believe in our ability to be better and to do better and hope that one day the world accepts how small we are and that all we have is each other and or sorry lives, so let's work together to make the best of the time we have in this pale blue dot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling, meeting new people and places, to hear stories and see how big and beautiful the world truly is. I've been helped a lot during my time travelling and hope to be able to help other travellers.

Interests

As everyone here, I love to travel, but haven't yet been able to travel to that many places. I rather enjoy books, philosophy and politics and I insist on being an optimist and having faith in people.

I love all the good things in life, as I believe most people do: food, arts, good company, stories, adventuring, nature and learning new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a reader, I love books with great stories, fiction and reality, I love beautiful and thoughtful poetry, and I like philosophy, politics, history and economics, but I'm very picky about those. My bookcase is filled with all kinds of books.
Music is food for the soul, I listen to a huge variety of artists and genres, but I listen more to Rock, Popular Brazilian Music(MPB) and to instrumental music. I wish I could play an instrument, but I lack the discipline needed.
I love movies, used to go to the cinema every week, but lately haven't been as connected to this world as I used to be. Some of my favorite movies are Cinema Paradiso, Hugo Cabret, A.I., 'Everything, Everywhere, all at once', Wild Tales and Pan's Labyrinth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked 10 Brazilian states over 7 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to cook and how to bake.
I've had some experience camping and backpacking that I can share, I was a scout leader for some years, so I can share some of what I used to teach there too.
I can share stories, some good food and a place to rest.
I love reading and watching movies, so I can also offer more than a few recommendations.
I can also teach math, English and Portuguese.

Stories, travel advice, nice conversation, help with shores, help in the kitchen and a fixing some stuff
