Hi! I'm based in Espoo (metropolitan area of Helsinki).

I love overseas travelling (I'm currently brainstorming where to go next), learning different languages, and being in nature.

I'm interested in romance languages.

In my free time, I'm mostly training for HYROX events.

Hej! Jag heter Augusto och pluggar på ett universitet i Helsingfors som doktorand.
Jag har också som ung, i skolåldern, bott i Japan och gått fram och tillbaka mellan Japan till hemmet i Brasilien.

日本語も大丈夫です!　関西弁できる人いたら是非話しましょう!

As a surfer once said, the world is not full of strangers, only friends who have yet to meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once slept in a public toilet to avoid being eaten by bears, near a volcano.
Not amazing, just odd.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since moving out of the city centre, my daily routine is quite structured, with most of my time going to training. If you’re looking for a super social host, I might not be the best fit, but I’m happy to share travel tips, have good conversations, or chill after training.

Also, if you've made it this far, address me as Aukusti in your request so I know you read my profile!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a delicious vegan version of Alfredo Fettucine with some Brazilian cashew nuts.
I can bring you Brazilian coffee and Fazer chocolate.
