Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm not out to change the world, I just want to change MY world
ABOUT ME
It’s a difficult question… I think I’m a positive and enthusiastic person, even if I can be shy at the beginning.
I really like to travel, to meet other people and to discover others cultures. What I prefer when I’m travelling is to spend time with local people, to spend time on the local market (for example) to see how local people live. I like to go in non-tourists place and love to take my time there (it’s why it’s quite difficult to travel with my friends, I travel “too slow” for them!). I also enjoyed being in an unfamiliar environment and losing my bearings of Western.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Unfortunately I’m not able to host because I share an house and my flatmates are still afraid about it… But I like to show Rio (even if I’m a “gringo” here!) and show some nice things to do and good place to go.
I like to meet new people from different places, to learn about other culture and to share mine.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Really good! I met amazing people by CS and I became to be friend with many of them. CS helped me a lot in my Brazilian integration and changed my life in Rio de Janeiro.
With others CSers, I also had very interesting time, sharing culture and experiences, meeting people from everywhere in the world…
Definitely my CS experiences are very positive!
Interests
