Well, I´m a dynamic person willing to live and meet what´s new. The world is too big and life is too short, so we have to make the most of it!!! I had travelled to several places and was born and raised in one of the most wonderful and exciting cities I know: Rio de Janeiro! So far I had great experiences hosting and being hosted through couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m on couchsurfing because, despite my mom´s advice, I do talk to strangers!!! Sorry mom, you were wrong... So far, CS enabled me to exchange life experiences, broad my mind and horizons. I think I´ve been a good host and shared with my guests what my city and my people can offer the best. So, please don´t mind if I knock at your door in a near future. You´ll be hosting someone who truly believes in the real purpose of this community!

Interests

I´m very interested in General Culture (Graduated in History, so you can imagine...). I don´t live without music and will be able to share some good stuff of brazilian sound (Bossa Nova, Samba, MPB). I can have a proper conversation about cinema as well, and maybe about International Politics, why not? Well, I´m interested in life as a whole!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some...
1) Completed two Triathlon competitions (Olimpic Distance);
2) Surfed (bodyboarding) in two beaches that hosted World Circuit in Florianópolis, south of Brazil (Nice waves!!!)
3) Visited a hospital with very ill children last Christmas to distribute some gifts and laughs. Maybe some hope too... (One of the most amazing experiences I had these days...)
4) Watched Iron Maiden live at Donnington Park, a sacred place for Metal. (Up the irons!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I´m in Brazil, I´ll be able to share a lot about Carioca Way of Life. I´m a real one!
Also, meet some new people here, make a good barbecue (Brazilian meat and brazilian way!). Go to our awesome beaches. Have some good conversation in English or Spanish (And portuguese, of course!). And, most important, I can teach you how to make a real Caipirinha!!! Cheers!!!
