🇺🇸 Hi everyone!
My name is Durval, I’m 38 years old and I’ve been a Portuguese teacher for foreigners for over 14 years. I’m originally from Porto Velho, Rondônia (Brazil), and I’m currently living in Tarija, Bolivia, where I’m in my fifth year of medical school.

I left home when I was 20 and since then I’ve had the chance to explore Europe, Asia, and almost every country in South America. Traveling has taught me a lot about different cultures and also about myself , and that’s one of the main reasons I’m here on Couchsurfing.

I love sports (especially running, Jiu-Jitsu, and yoga), going to the gym, reading, cooking, and learning new things every day. I’m an open-minded person who enjoys good conversations, sharing experiences, and connecting with kind and curious people from around the world.

I joined Couchsurfing to meet nice people, learn from others, share stories, and maybe teach a bit of my language and culture too.

If we meet, we can go out to eat or cook something together , I really enjoy cooking.
I also like having long talks, going for a walk, grabbing a beer or a coffee, or even going out dancing once in a while.

Looking forward to meeting amazing people and creating good memories , that’s what traveling is all about!

🇧🇷 Oi, pessoal!
Meu nome é Durval, tenho 38 anos e sou professor de português para estrangeiros há mais de 14 anos. Sou de Porto Velho, Rondônia (Brasil) e atualmente moro em Tarija, Bolívia, onde estou no quinto ano da faculdade de Medicina.

Saí de casa aos 20 anos e desde então tive a chance de conhecer a Europa, a Ásia e quase todos os países da América do Sul. Viajar me ensinou muito sobre diferentes culturas e também sobre mim mesmo, e essa é uma das principais razões pelas quais estou aqui no Couchsurfing.

Gosto de esportes (principalmente corrida, Jiu-Jitsu e yoga), de ir à academia, ler, cozinhar e aprender coisas novas todos os dias. Sou uma pessoa de mente aberta, gosto de boas conversas, de trocar experiências e de conhecer pessoas gentis e curiosas do mundo todo.

Entrei no Couchsurfing para conhecer pessoas legais, aprender com os outros, compartilhar histórias e talvez ensinar um pouco da minha língua e cultura também.

Se a gente se encontrar, podemos sair para comer ou cozinhar algo juntos , eu realmente gosto de cozinhar.
Também gosto de bater um bom papo, fazer uma caminhada, tomar uma cerveja ou um café, ou até sair para dançar de vez em quando.

Ansioso para conhecer pessoas incríveis e criar boas memórias , afinal, é isso que viajar significa!
