Hi! My name is João, and I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm backpacking through Europe, exploring amazing cities like Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Belgrade, Skopje, Tirana, Riga, Tallinn, and Copenhagen. I'm looking for friends and a place to stay (from one night up to a week) during this journey.

In addition to sharing great conversations and experiences, I can also contribute with some skills: cleaning, night shifts, reception, bartending, party promotion, graphic design, statistics, and other tasks that might be helpful.

More than just a place to sleep, I'm looking to connect with locals, learn about your culture and daily life, and maybe even practice a bit of your language.

If you can host me, it would be a pleasure to share stories and be part of this unique cultural exchange. 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I seek authentic travel experiences, the opportunity to connect with locals, and immerse myself in different cultures while exploring the world. For me, it's not just about finding a place to stay but about creating meaningful connections and embracing the spirit of adventure and hospitality that Couchsurfing offers.
