I'm a Brazilian guy currently studying in the U.S. for a one year period. Been here for three months already.

I'm also an electrical engineering major, hopefully graduating in 2018.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know other places and people around the country. They say one of the best things to do is to travel, right?

Interests

I'm really into soccer and music. Those are two things I can't live without. I even do my homework while listening to my favorite songs.

• culture
• education
• traveling
• music
• soccer
• teaching
• engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not that much of a book guy, but I've seen my share of movies. The entire 007 franchise, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Godfather (every one of them) are just a few examples.

My music taste varies from classic rock to punk rock. I listen to bands such as The Kooks, The Strokes, The Offspring, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Kings of Leon and etcetera. My favorite band, however, definitely is Foo Fighters. Gladly I could make to a concert in Brazil once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably that would be spending one year away from my parents, friends and acquaintances in order to pursue a better education. If I could, I would spend more time in the U.S., but soon enough I'm gonna have to go back. Leaving your comfort zone is not that easy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, the main reason I'm in this country is to improve my English and get to know another culture. I like to have conversations about cultural differences. Considering I have already been to other countries, I believe I can share the experience I had in these places. Everywhere I went I brought something with me, as in I absorbed something from that culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe I can share the experiences I had, how does life in Brazil is, and - hopefully - I can also share how well CouchSurfing has provided me opportunities to travel within the best places in the U.S.!
