About Me

I'm a Brazilian guy and I live in São Paulo with my Russian wife (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/cinnamonesky).

I studied Linguistics and I am a translator. I used to work with education and it means a lot to me, because it opens our minds and helps us understand and accept others better.

I usually don't like night clubs, but we can share a beer/tea, have a vegan meal, have good conversations, play video games and board games, explore the city and the nature and do basically anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived in Germany (Munich and Cologne) and I joined many activities there with couchsurfers and the meetings were always great!

I have been a guest many times in Europe and I had amazing experiences. Now I want to host people as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drank Ayahuasca.

I travelled from Munich through Salzburg, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest till Istanbul with a very low budget and had the best trip of my life.

I married an amazing woman (plus she is Russian and I am Brazilian, so it's always interesting because of the cultural differences).

I learned hypnosis (it's scientifically proven and kind of simple, nothing mystic!).

I went to Japan!!!
