здравствуйте!

We are Carlos and Fernanda, a couple of Brazilians living in Montréal...

I'm graduated in laws and IT in my country but currently I'm working with IT in a video game developer company in Canada... I'm passionate by travelling and learning new languages, meeting new cultures, people, places... I like to visit international restaurants to taste exotic food, listen to music from other countries and cultures, everything that makes me feel like I'm out there when I'm not travelling...

I'm also a big fan of movies, TV series, internet, outdoor activities (this last item just to balance my geek side lol)

We are christians and we don't drink, smoke nor use drugs, but yes, we know how to have fun without any of this (and trust me, my friends always tell me that considering how crazy I am being sober, they can't imagine how I'd be drunk :) )...

If I could use a single quote to describe how I try to manage the things in my life, I'd definitely use Mark Twain's: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Just to make sure that you read our profile: If your mother tongue is Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Chinese, please send me the request in that language. If it's another language, please start the message saying "Hello, how are you?" in your language :) (btw, learning and practicing languages is my favorite hobby, so if you speak one of the languages above be advised that I'll want to practice with you as much as I can lol)

Até logo!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of the unique cultural experience when you go somewhere and discover it not through the eyes of an ordinary tourist, but from inside... when the angle changes, everything changes... and then the "awesome" happens.
