CURRENT MISSION

Knowing not only places, but people and their lifestyles

ABOUT ME

First, I am a Brazilian who was living in Dublin to improve my English. Now, I'm back to my home city, Belo Horizonte.
As described in my mission, I am a person who travels not only to know the city's landmarks, but also to learn about the habits of the native inhabitants.
I love traveling and I regret that I have not known many places in the world yet. However, I've traveled a lot in Brazil, which is a wonderful country to visit. I have traveled through South America too, and I really enjoyed!
In Brazil I live in a big city and, whenever I like to take a break in routine, and travel to the country side, especially where it has waterfalls, which is very peaceful.
I like and study cinema and audiovisual media. And I like to hang out, take beer and go to bars and nightclubs as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host:
It was really nice to receive some people at my place, during my stay in Dublin. Now, I'll be happy to receive people at my home city.

As a guest:
I am eager to know more about people's life and culture. I prefer spending time with my hosts and I'm happy with anything you'd like to share with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone can teach and learn from others, just in the act of meeting people from another culture (and from the same culture as well). But I love film, art and music and would like to discuss this with you.
