Note: One of my favorite things is hanging out, driving around the city, showing people some of the sights in and around London or neighboring cities.

Hello, fellow travelers!

I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in the vibrant city of London since January 2019. With over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, I currently work as a software engineer, a role that fuels my passion for innovation and problem-solving. My journey in technology has led me to found a startup, which has been fortunate enough to receive several prestigious awards and media attention. This endeavor has been featured in numerous articles, newspapers, and magazines.

Beyond my professional life, I hold a master’s degree in Entrepreneurship, reflecting my continuous pursuit of knowledge and growth. But life isn’t all about work for me. I’m an adventurer at heart and love exploring new cultures, cuisines, and landscapes. Whether it’s hiking in the mountains, diving into a new book, or discovering hidden gems in the city, I’m always up for an adventure.

As a host, I value genuine connections and cultural exchange. I believe that sharing experiences with others enriches our lives and broadens our perspectives. My place is a cozy and safe haven where you can relax after a day of exploring London.

If you’re looking for a friendly, adventurous, and reliable host who can offer you a glimpse into both the tech world and the rich culture of this incredible city, let’s connect! Looking forward to meeting you and sharing stories over a cup of coffee or a pint of beer.

Safe travels!

P.S.: I don’t check Couchsurfing as often, so feel free to message me on Instagram at @maiconburn
