Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can say that my experience in CS has been great. I've met a lot of interesting people "surfing", hosting and going out to a "coffee or a drink". And I've visited nice local places that just as a tourist it would be unlikely to happen.

Interests

Meeting people and share ideas, philosophies and experiences in life. Learn something new. Practice my english and my spanish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about brazilian music, some portuguese, how to prepare a "caipirinha" - a tradicional Brazilian drink - or how to cook a "brigadeiro" - a very popular candy in Brazil. And it would be a pleasure give you tips about the places I had visited.

I'd like to learn about the language and cultural aspects from the place I'm visiting, also about new places/countries, personal philosophies, experiences and lifestyles...
It's always a good time to learn, even with the small things.

Share experiences and ideas. This is the best part and what I hope from CS.
