CURRENT MISSION

Travelling with good spirit and open mind... Experience is almost everything...

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and I would like to do it more than I do. I'm a lawyer and university teacher of Constitutional Law. I like sports (triathlon, basketball and adventure racing), scuba diving, music, films, automobiles (specially jeep and 4x4), motorcycles (just love to ride), animals, beer, wine and good company.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life you must relax and accept the world and yourself, because every experience turns you into a better person, in some way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can add some experience. I love to chat and to know new people. Love to do it!
Exchance experience and ideas.
It's better to know the world by the peple who live in it!

I did some "CouchSurfing" in Brazil (Normally in vacation) by myself (without the CS website) and I've already host about 4 times. In total six people from Britain. It was very fun.
