I'm quiet, sensitive, calm and easygoing. I'm pleasant to spend time with and easy to talk to. I enjoy drinking a wine or craft beer with good food, participating in and watching sports, languages and culture, the great outdoors, drawing, art, and music.

As I'm currently unable to offer a place to stay, I'd still like to offer what I can to other Couchsurfers. I'd like to meetup in Melbourne to be your local guide, and to exchange language, culture, opinions, or travelling experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to see if it was a viable alternative to conventional forms of accommodation, and do something new. I'm so glad that I went outside my comfort zone to try Couchsurfing. I was lucky to find organised and reliable hosts who made me feel welcomed and comfortable.

What makes Couchsurfing a challenge and a pleasure is that each person has different perspectives, reasons and expectations about couchsurfing.

Being able to stay present, be compassionate, non-judgemental and open to learning about my hosts, rewarded me and hopefully them as well. I was not prepared for how my heart opened up to life and to receiving.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play guitar myself and I'm influenced by many genres, but particularly by rock, blues, reggae and indie. At the moment I've got "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin playing in my mind.

I like to watch documentaries or movies so touching and powerful that you will never forget them.

I read to learn new skills, like Brazilian recipes.

Teach, Learn, Share

Provide tips and information about Melbourne and other places I've visited, especially Brazil.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ideally, share enjoyable experiences and make new friends, and if there is harmony and emotionally significant connection, then I would consider breaking the "friendship only" rule and take a chance. Life is too short to follow rules if you think you've met someone special like a soulmate.
