About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know the world, other cultures and people

ABOUT ME

I am just an ordinary brazilian who moved to South Korea to pursue master degree in Computer Engineering, through a scholarship program run by the Korean Ministry of Education.
I graduated and became a MASTER (wowwwwww).
During two years (2012 and 2013) I was teaching portuguese language in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (in Global Campus, outside Seoul).

Now, after 6 years in South Korea, I am back to my hometown in Brazil, but still I am enjoying the life and looking for opportunities of traveling and knowing people.

I am passionate about discovering other places and people from there, especially if they are open minded and fun :)

PHILOSOPHY

Having real friends, whom I can share experiences and life.
Friendship is the most important thing for me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate surfing in other countries couches, and using my 6 years living in South Korea and being resident in Brasilia (capital of Brazil), I would like to interact with people of different nationalities, participating in CS events with people that cannot speak portuguese.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience is based in my Russian trip, where I finally could make some use of courchsurfing. There I met very interesting and funny people, who hosted me like a king, something that I was not imagining. It totally worth doing :)
After that, I hosted two lovely girls from Singapore when I was living in South Korea. It was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward doing it again (surfing, mostly, since I live with my parents and they are not really open to Couchsurfing, unfortunately).
