Sometimes I'm a quiet/shy person and sometimes extroverted.
I'm from Goiânia, in the middle west of Brazil. When I was 19 I moved to South Brazil to study Industrial Engeneering, however after two years I changed the college course and concluded Biological Sciences. Soon after, São Paulo was my new home, where it came about three years working with biology and then, taking the masters in insect systematics and biodiveristy.
I am fond of cycling and trekking and have made a few bike trips already.
Quite addicted of acquiring more and more of the good quality knowledge.
It is always a pleasure to have good food, a glass of beer and nice friends to talk with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling to distinct places with the opportunity of meeting people of which I can share interesting thing, things in common, share experiences and laugh with, sounds really cool. Besides, we can make friends and get special hints of the places we are being visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, travelling has a lot to do with incredible things.
To mention two of the memorable ones...
With one of my best friends, in 2001 we crossed Brazil by bicycle in its narrwoest part, the state of Santa Catarina, South Brasil. Thirteen days of amazing moments.
And, with my girlfriend at the time, crossing Brazil in a really wide part of it, from the north-west state, Acre, city of Rio Branco, towards a North-east state called Pará, to Belén city. All the journey was done by boat, through few of the may Amazonian rivers. It was so many long curves that I would not dare to guess a distance, but was a cool long floating journey, for sure.
