What I Can Share with Hosts

We can practice English or French.

I have extensive experience in Software Engineering, if my guest also has knowledge in this area, I believe that we can talk a lot about this subject.

Since I am an engineer and have been working for some years, I can also exchange experience in building technology-based businesses.

Anyway, I can also share my experience of some trips I made in Brazil and abroad.
