I'm an easy going married guy that works his ass off and would love to travel more, but since I can't as much as I wish, I decided to bring the travelling to my house.

I love to learn more about different cultures and languages, and I've learned the best way to do so is by meeting people.

I like music and cooking, I enjoy movies and sports. Whatever you can teach me about those things will matter a lot.

I expect you to bring something we can cook together that is native to your country.
Expect me to be able to help out (except if I'm very busy at the office).
Don't expect to bring dates or use drugs in my place - the building I live in is very strict about that sort of thing.

Hope to see you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically I'm here to help out people like me, who have a hard time paying for hotels and love travelling

I left airbnb because I don't want to rent my space, I want to share experiences and this community came highly recommended.

I live right next to the copacabana palace in the most tourist place to stay in Rio and I feel good when I'm able to point a tourist in the right direction, so the idea here is to show Rio for what it is - not sugarcoating or being a downer, just being real.

Interests

Love to cook but hate to do the dishes - I try to experiment new flavors and spices.
Love watching football games, but honestly I don't understand how people pay small fortunes to go to the stadiums - I prefer to play
I enjoy almost every style of music there is (except for the terrible ones... You know what I mean), and getting to know a new band singing in a foreign language just blows my mind

• cooking
• music
• football
• museums
