I'm Brazilian, born in a small town on the border with Uruguay. I'm 31 years old, studied neuroscience, and I run a language school (www.triptusidiomas.com.br).

The first time I went traveling was when I was 18, hitchhiking. I traveled over 40,000 km that way. I met amazing people along the road, and I always say that most people are good.

I consider myself open-minded, and I love different cultures and perspectives. I'm very curious, and what brings me the most joy is learning.

In general, I'm into science, technology, economics, and philosophy. I love sports and nature. I usually prefer natural or cultural experiences over super touristy ones. I enjoy getting to know the local culture and how people really live.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

From what I see, this is not just a platform — it’s a lifestyle. The people who are active in the community are almost always open-minded, and they enjoy sharing conversations, perspectives, culture, knowledge, and more. They make friends easily and are always willing to help.

For me, there’s no other way to enjoy a trip than by connecting with people like that.
