I am a person who is fascinated by "novelty", as to say. I am always trying to learn new stuff (such as languages and songs on the guitar), love to travel around (being abroad or inside my city) and have a special fondness for meeting new people (either foreigners or locals).

Despite living in the biggest city from South America, having lived in England twice, and liking the idea of feeling as a "cosmopolitan", I still feel connected to my roots - the small/medium-sized-city of Rio Claro, where I was born and grew up, in the countryside.

I am also from "Humanities" (have a majour in Journalism), which is why I like talking about an infinite of subjects - politics, literature, music, football, economy, culture etc etc etc etc.

On the subject of music, besides liking dancing (serch for "forró" on YouTube), I must say that I have an special passion for my guitar, with which I can spend hours and hours in a day. It is an old and simple guitar, but it works and makes my life easy.

Plus, I am a very active person and really gets anxious if I stay more than one week without any exercise. I use to go to the gym in a daily basis and right now I am trying to build the habit of cycling to work.

Finally, "I am a dreamer", as the song says, who is always aiming/hoping/struggling for a new and better world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people from around the world, being as a guest or as a hoster! To share experiences, create friends, and seek the possibility of making my life richer :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My final project at university, in which I travelled to a city in the borders of Amazon Rain Forest to write a book about the deforestation. It was an amazing experience in several perspectives.
