HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One of my dearest friends, Paula Gramacho, told me about this website when she was going to her trip to Rio, in July, 2010. Since then, I just had good moments hosting people and going to meetings.

音乐、电影和书籍

I prefer comedies and some horror movies (which sometimes are even funnier than comedies hahaha)

But I'm no fan of movies tho'

I love reading humanities and also some other best-sellers

My favorite music genre are rap and hip-hop (pre 2014 especially, but nowadays there's just s#*t)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Swimming with an Anaconda in a river at Bonito-MS. It was one of the scariest too.

Learned basics of tango in Buenos Aires

Seeing snow for the first time in my life at Charles De Gaulle Airport on the way to Russia.

Surviving as a volunteer at a haunted 'hippie' camp in Northern Argentinian

Being infected with COVID and surviving with no damage to tell my story

教，学，和分享

I know basically everything about my state, I've visited every single city, and I know a lot about other Brazilian cities. I can teach you about history and philosophy, some stretching, drawing lessons, a bit of boxing, learning Portuguese and so on. I want to practice my language skills and learn about different cultures.
