My name is Paulo Victor Panazzolo (which is an Italian Last name) I was born in Passo Fundo, Brazil, and currently live in Florianopolis, one of the most beautiful cities in Brazil.

I have a degree in Psychology and I currently work as a psychotherapist. My approach is Gestalt-therapy, but I am more than opened to share knowledge about other approaches! :)

I think Psychology says a lot about me: I am very open-minded for any type of experience, and I thank God I am such an open-minded person! This gives me the opportunity to taste the world the way it really is in so many aspects. I feel that everyday I brake so many stereotypes... To me, it makes life worth living! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went to a lecture called - that was called "What Is Your Dream" - and the girls who travel around the world suggested me this website. It is amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am the most thankful man on Earth by knowing this website! If I met the guy who created this website, I would certainly give him a tight bear-Brazilian hug! xD

I traveled all over America using CSurfing, and the people I knew were truly amazing! I got to know their lifestyles and their point of view about life. Then, all my trips turned to be more than a trip: It was a life-changing experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really Amazing, but crazy:

My last day in Miami was really crazy: As my host could not host me for one more night, I had to find a place to spend that night. I remembered there was a Casino nearby the bus station where I had to take the bus to Orlando. Then, I spent about 6 hours in the Poker table and earned about U$ 600 bucks. With this money, I traveled to Hawaii and Alaska! Then I could see the wild life with my own eyes.

Teach, Learn, Share

Live your life! I learned that with a host in Alaska... This short but thoughtful sentence caught me so deep that I tattoed that on my back :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends on the host. If you like beer, let's have some and talk about life! If you like tea and pie, let's have some! If you like to chill on a big land full of trees and drink only fresh water, let's do it! :)

Truly, we will have plenty things to share :)
