Personal Descriptionopen minded, friendly, funny. like meeting new people, travelling and music. also really like watching movies and reading, and kind of hate tv[even though i like watching series like family guy, my name is earl and simpsons].How I Participate in CSbeing your next host or guest. and also whenever possible, spreading the idea.CouchSurfing ExperienceLot's, and so far, never had anything but good time. Every guest/host is a new world to discover, and it's always nice to see how people behave on a completely new environment.Interestsmusic, people, movies, reading, travelling. cooking is a new one, but still growing... also, very much into cheese, specially the old ones.Philosophy"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time"

From Sarah Van Camp Sint-Truiden, Belgium Oct 9 Positive Leo is an absolute top fellow. He hosted me and my boyfriend for 4 days in his lovely place in Madrid. He showed us the best food in Madrid, the best Mojitos, best parties and he even gave us his bed! I hope I will see Leo again soon, he's absolutely great to be around! Thanks so much Leo and I look forward to meet you again on Pukkelpop fest next year! I will practice my spanish! :)
From Jade Johnston Leuven, Belgium Sep 1 Positive Leo got to couchsurf at Pukkelpop music festival after the airline lost his tent :( Good thing there were lots of friendly Cs'ers there to help him out. I really enjoyed hanging out with Leo during Pukkelpop and especially when we went to get our "special" blow up pillows!
From Jo Pallen Zoutleeuw, Belgium Aug 24 Positive Leo is probably one of the nicest guys I know!
He was too nice for us. We slept in his bed while he was lying on the couch. So when he comes to Pukkelpop, he will have a private tent, sleeping bag and air mattress waiting for him.
Madrid is a beautiful city and Leo knows where to go: Spanish and Brazilian food, mojito’s and cerveza!! I loved it!
We really had a good time and hope to see you again SOON!
¡Fiesta en mi casa!
From Rodrigo Marques Olinda, Brazil Aug 8, 2008 Positive a great mate!
who never said no when somebody need to going out - even if it was a rainny monday night.
From Alana McVey Philadelphia, United States Jul 4, 2008 Positive China and Ivan were phenomenal hosts! Two friends and I spent a weekend in Segovia with them and they were extremely welcoming! They cooked for us and took us out to the bars. We got to meet their friends and see Segovia from the perspective of a local. The experience was fantastic!
From Cori Carl Brooklyn, United States May 2, 2008 Positive I think I was Leonardo's most boring couchsurfer, because my allergies turned me into a zombie while I stayed with him! He was a great host and his roommates are a lot of fun. If you are looking for someone to party with he is a great host for you! The view of Segovia from his apartment alone is worth the trip.
From Tiffy Peters Safety Harbor, United States Apr 15, 2008 Positive Leonardo is super sweet, funny, and endearing. He and his roommates showed me around the city, cooked a fabulous meal, and even let me have the good bed. They are an inspiring bunch because they are all learning different languages and were really patient with my Spanish. I had de puta madre time and hope i will see leo and his friends another day soon. Thank you China!
From Summer Brochtrup Eugene, United States Apr 14, 2008 Positive A great host! I had a really great time staying with him and having him show my friend and I around the nightlife in Segovia. He is also a really good cook and has very nice Brazilian friends!
Thanks for a great first couchsurfing experience and all your hospitality! Beijos!
From Arthur and Jessica Vidal Berlin, Germany Apr 14, 2008 Positive Wowawiwa.
Great CS experience...
I had he and his friends here for NYE.
What a great time we had.
They helped a lot to Break My CS host record. 16 at the time I stopped counting
Great great guy.
Peace man
From Davis Goodman Madrid, Spain Apr 14, 2008 Positive Amazing how a group of people can make sleepy Segovia seem like an outrageouse party town. I can´t have nothing but the highest respect for super groovy people like Leo..who make you feel like you have always been a part of their erasmus community. I will be waiting with beer and flowers when he and his friends arrive here to party on the summer streets!
From Ruth De Pau Gent, Belgium Mar 28, 2008 Positive We had a great time in Segovia! Only stayed for one night but we felt immediatly at home. Had a really nice evening with Leonardo and friends/roommates and would highly recommend him as a couchsurfinghost!Thanks and always welcome!
From Jen Sanger Hobart, Australia Mar 20, 2008 Positive Had such a fantastic time! Leonardo is a great host and his flatmates are also lovely... Thanks so much for letting me stay!
From CHAPARRITA Wettstetten, Germany Mar 17, 2008 Positive I had such a blast staying with Leonardo! He is just adorable, helping, charming, funny, witty, smart...! Even though he must know Segovia already inside out he was willing to take a long stroll with me explaining me everything! Furthermore he is an awesome chef and did spoil me with delicious dishes! (arg, when can I come back?). He spent all the time he had helping me and I felt really really at home! I could go on and on raving ... but you better find out yourself!!!
Thanx again and hope to see you SOONEST!
From Marta Lulewicz Bialystok, Poland Jan 6, 2008 Positive it was one of the best things I experienced in berlin - meeting some mad brasilian people :D I wish I could stay longer and have some more crazy parties with you! Really hope to see you soon xxx
From Gosia Korzeniecka Warsaw, Poland Jan 5, 2008 Positive A great guy to hang out with!!
From Franziska Schwientek Hamburg, Germany Nov 7, 2007 Positive We had a great time with Leonardo! He is unbelievable friendly and hospitable. The tour through Segovia with his friends was amazing - so nice places we went to. We loved the food and the warming, energizing coffee! :)
Everything was so naturally for him - and that's not naturally! Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the Bloc Party Concert in Salamanca... and the Knödel! :)
From Marin Kuzmanić Split, Croatia Nov 2, 2007 Positive All I can say is I am sorry I did not spend more time in Segovia... true you can pretty much see the place in 3 hours just like my town but when you get a host like Leonardo :))) things are a bit different, he picked me up at 2am and we went strait to a party, gotta love that. You are most wellcome to come visit me, you only have to bring the portuguese/dance teacher with you ;)
From Rodrigo Reis Belo Horizonte, Brazil Oct 30, 2007 Positive I realy enjoyed my time in Segovia. Leonardo and his friends are great and realy funny. Thanks!
From Laura Vesanto Turku, Finland Aug 13, 2007 Positive leonardo was an amazing person, i still cannot believe the energy he had even tough he had to work so much! His roommates and friends were also great and equally full of life! it must be a brazilian thing, i´ve never seen anything quite like it;) i truly hope we´ll meet again sometime in life!
From Mary Neigel Beloit, United States Jul 23, 2007 Positive Leonardo is a really wonderful person! He was so kind and helpful to show me all over Segovia! I loved meeting his friends and we had a great night out with them. I also loved our salad dressing expirements! Leonardo is so great and you should surf with him if you get the chance. Thanks again friend and I hope to see you in Madrid soon!
From Pedro Lucas Guedes Recife, Brazil Jul 22, 2007 Positive He's in the (small) group of my very best friends. A really outgoing guy, always a great person to be with.
From IEVAPRIB Vilnius, Lithuania Jul 9, 2007 Positive Leonardo was very nice to show all the places of interest in the cozy Segovia. He is a great person, perfect guide and photographer! It was a pleasure to meet him and share some conversations. Thanks a lot for the tour, the next time we meet you´ll show me how to dance samba ;) You´re always welcome to Lithuania!
From FLEUR-DE-LYS Milano, Italy Jun 22, 2007 Positive I really want meet him and his crazy friends again 'cause he seems a very nice person! And I think in Segovia there are all the best CS!!! Até logo! :)
From Alex Douglas Williamsburg, United States Jun 22, 2007 Positive The contribution Leonardo has made to couchsurfing is incredible--he's hosted 10+ people and has yet to travel himself. He hosted me even though he was supposed to be studying for an exam. If you stay with him in Segovia, he'll probably introduce you to a lot of his Brazilian friends, whom I all found to be wonderful and a lot of fun. Ask Camila to guess what you have in your hand.
From Felipe Batista da Silva Nancy, France Jun 20, 2007 Positive China is cool.. he's a very good sense of humor and a very positive vibration
From Slightly Delightful San Francisco, United States Jun 18, 2007 Positive THANKS for showing us Segovia, even though it was for a few hours! Sorta were in a rush. Anyway, you are AWESOME - we'll send the jumping photos to you guys soon!
From KAARA Madrid, Spain Jun 12, 2007 Positive i surfed his colchón in segovia. a really nice host. showed me all around and i showed him around segovia as well, hahah, took me to some bars and clubs and his friend's place and
got me drunk but gave an aspirin for hangover and then showed me around segovia again and so on and so forth......:)))))) it was greeaaat!!! now looking forward to see u in madrid!
From Davi Telles Segovia, Spain Jun 9, 2007 Positive This guy is unbeliveable, his always with a good energy to go out or just to meet his friends to have good time. For sure his is one of the best host in CS.
From Daniel Jenkins Upper Hutt, New Zealand Jun 7, 2007 Positive Fantastic host - and an excellent guide. Hope to see you again soon.
From Forrest Kleinman Boulder, United States Jun 5, 2007 Positive I went to Segovia thinking the Aquaduct was going to be the highlight of my stay. I was very wrong. I had an amazing time hanging out with Leonardo and Romolo and their friends. They took me to the best bars, and showed me all the tourist spots as well. Leonardo, if you are lucky I will visit again, but next time I really will leave my shoes!
From Adam Greenberg Santander, Spain Jun 5, 2007 Positive Leonardo is the man! We met us right as we got off the bus! We told him what we wanted to do in our short visit, and he put everything together and guided us around. He is great company and a really nice kid! Here is what my family asked me to pass along:
Allison: He rocks!! He did an amazing job giving a guided tour of a town he had only been in for 3 months! It was a pleasure to meet him! :-)
My Mom: Leonardo is really sweet, very easy to talk to. Thank you!
My dad: Thanks to his friendly personality and super tour guide skills, we had a blast in Segovia!
Thanks again Leonardo! Hit me up if you want to come to Santander before August!
From Felipe Perlino Sao Paulo, Brazil May 30, 2007 Positive This guy was the first couchsurfer who I had contact. He showed the city, he introduced to his friends and we had some beer together. It was a greath experience and I really felt that this gut is a nice person. I strongly recomend that you meet this guy, even that it was for just a coffee.
From Julia Strobel Malans, Switzerland Apr 22, 2007 Positive Leonardo is a great guy, he and his friends showed us the whole city for four hours, patientely :-)
After a great dinner (for women forbidden to help, it was great Tiago :-) ) we made a real brazilian singing evening. They're really friendly, funny guys.
From Romulo Delgado Madrid, Spain Apr 16, 2007 Positive He´s always positive vibrations ... sharp and also funny ... it´s about stay with him a few seconds and let the good talk and vibe come
From Natasha Felizi Sao Paulo, Brazil Feb 13, 2007 Positive SO LOVELY AND SOFTY AND NICE EHHEHE
From Lisbon, Portugal Jan 8, 2007 Positive My close, good, beautiful, chocolate-covered friend.
From Barbara Santos Recife, Brazil Dec 20, 2006 Leo is a great person... very funny =)
