João Aguiar

João is the real deal. He is so passionate about helping people and helping the world. He loves learning about different cultures and sharing his experiences and knowledge with others. I really enjoyed my time with João, and I hope to see him again!

João is an amazing guy that was finishing is trip in the world. we had some nice conversations and he really gave the guts to the a trip like he did, just have to have the courage as he did.
Grande João Aquele Abraço...qualquer coisa da Nazaré cá estou pra ti.

Joao is a very nice person. He told us his traveling experience arround the world. He also was very interested in zamora and Viriato. I hope you have arrived well to Miranda

 

I couch him few days ago. He was traveling from barcelona to lisbon by bike. He was resting during the afternoon (I cannot imagine how tired has to be biking all day long) and we had a picnic dinner next to Duero's river. We spend a great time together and it was very interesting to know he has been travelling all around the world during passed months

My friend Shorty is someone worth to know...active, good person, full of good ideas and fighting to put them in practice. Not just a dreamer! You will like to know him.

 

Joao is an excellent person. We were only one day with him, in his last stage before returning to Portugal after turning round to the world.
Good luck Joao. This will be your home when you want.

hey i hope u remember me :)

Joao is a good guest, ever helping in the house, very quiet responsible an good friend, good luck joao in the road of life

 

João, is an open-minded, friendly and positive fellow. it was a pleasure having you around. Enjoy Oz!!

I knew João and he is a very friendly person, a great traveler and he can speak many leagues! Good Trip friend!

I only knew Joao and Viviane for 1 night, but that was enough to discover a very nice couple. Joao is an easy going guy and you can see right away that he's full of life and caring.
Hope i'll get to know you better.

I met João through Tito in Lima. It was a good surprise to find a Portuguese guy there and can speak my language. For coincidence he was coming from Brasília and met a CS friend of mine. He was a great company when I was in Lima and later in Cusco when we met again. We talked a lot about his love for Brazil and mine for Portugal.
He is such a nice person. We and Tito had a lot of fun together.
João, foi bué da fixe conhecer-te. Vamos nos encontrar por aí de novo, pá. Quem sabe em Portugal...cá no Brasil ou em outro canto do mundo. Beijão.

We met indeed on an airplane, but I was indeed almost sleeping all the time. So sorry for nog being so sociable :) Really nice to add me and buen viaje amigo!

Joao es una linda persona, lo conoci aqui con sus amigos, y festejamos un cumpleaños, nos gusto mucho escucharlos cantar el cumpleaños feliz en portugues.

Buene energia gracias por visitarnos.

A very kind person, with a deep soul and a keen mind. I enjoyed the moments we spent together in Manaus.

Great guy, interesting one and not really AS ;)

João is a really interesting portuguese guy who wants to travel the whole world. He likes to talk in many different languages and shares the passion to understand other cultures.

João is a really great guy. He is the type of guy that after your netbook has been stolen on a 7 day boat ride will come with you and patiently translate Portugese to English with the captain. He will help you out whenever you need it, and without a second thought. He also has a great memory for languages and seems to know phrases in more languages than anyone else I have ever met. An all around smart, interesting, and fun guy.

 

Joao, mi causita! He's such a great guy, with a profound love for life, meeting people, and travelling all around spreading his kindness and wit.
I'm pretty sure we'll meet again -there in Lusitania or in any place of our small world.
Saude choche!

Joao, became the best impression from visit to Portugal! I was amazed by his lifestyle and views. So far away from consummative approach we generally have here in Moscow. He inflects with his enthusiasm! And he can easily reproduce Russian phrases almost without accent.

I heard about Joao even before knowing him personally in a CS Meeting in my hometown, and I was very excited with the idea of meeting someone from Portugal, one of my passion and my second nation!
Even though it was a very brief contact, I had a very good impression of this guy. He's very friendly and spontaneous!...
Well, I do hope to see you again soon my friend, so we can talk more about this wonderful country that is PORTUGAL... My best regards to you and see ya! Abraço do "Portuga"!!!Hehehee...

João es una persona muy agradable! Una persona a la que nunca olvidas los momentos con él... lo hemos pasado genial en Rabat, Temara, la playa... Suk del campo... todo ha sido como momentos maravillosos!!
Sahbiii!!! algun dia viajamos por aquí...
Muy bien muy bien!!!!!!

 

That's what I have to say about Juaum: He is AWESOME! It's was a pleasure host for these days. I hope you can get what you want (you Know what?) :) thanks for the dinner.. curry with vegetables. Hope see you soon!

He's very funny... And was the best gringo dancer that night, at Poizé's forró!He has a great taste for shoes and t-shirts. :D

A big surprise for me. I was just awaiting a new and very young guest, but I had the great opportunity to meet a special guy: curious about people and everything around him, determined, allways ready to help, full of experiences to tell...and I really enjoyed hear all of them. I can afirm that we both are special, that´s why we met each other. What goes around, comes around. Lembra disso?? Uma ótima e emocionante viagem pra você. Grande beijo. Até um dia!

Deep, spiritual, and the best cook of "bacalhau à Braz", me not liking cod and all I have to say I enjoyed it.

Conheci ele no Rio de Janeiro, estava hospedado no apto da Thais Bitto. Lá, ele havia preparado um jantar com directo a um bom bacalhau à braz... À principio me apaixonei pelo bacalhau, e nem imaginei que mais tarde, iria me apaixonar por ele. Porque, 1 semana depois, ele me procurou e passamos a nos comunicar por e-mail. Por consequência ele foi à Campinas, minha cidade natal, e ficou por 5 semanas. Foi ótimo! Passamos vários momentos lindos, os quais foram possíveis conhecermos um ao outro e iniciar uma relación que hoje em dia se propaga pela América do Sul, e pelos nossos desejos, tambèm acontecerá na Europa.
O Juaum é um ótimo gajo;): ético, correto, gentil, divertido, carinhoso, curioso, sensível e com um olhar diferententemente brilhante.
Neste momento estou viajando com ele pelo Chile, e depois, passaremos pela Argentina e Uruguay… tem sido um momento especial e único… È um homem e tanto… Que sorte tenho eu de tê-lo conhecido.

Seremos felizes juntos, assim, anseio eu.

Joao is a very passionate person, that was my very first impression of him. And I mean that from the perspective of a natural, beautiful passion one can possess for life and its numerous mysteries including other people that cross his ways.
I was very happy to welcome him here after being contacted and learned of some things concerning his personal saga. Really sociable, he's easily become friends with lots of people here and engaged in many different kinds of activities. We've had a great time together along with other friends chatting about many topics, sharing experiences, going out dancing, and let's not forget you playing the guitar for us (not as much as we'd like!!) :)
Wish you all the best and luck, my friend, and hope you succeed in your journey as a traveler and as a human being.

The Dj;) after me, the best dj ever eheh

Meu companheiro, meu colega, meu amigo, meu irmão... gente boa p´a caramba, confio nele 200%, é um cara que topa todo, gentil, "Brother estamos ai p`a las que sea....

conheci ele mas pena que deu pouco pra tomar contato mas parece interesante.

 

João is a very sweet and patient guy, since he made no big deal among 98765167... jokes from Portuguese people. We surfed the same couch in Rio, he teached me lots of Portuguese and we had a great time together.

I hope he can appreciate his trip and I also hope to meet him again somewhere. All the best portuga!

João!? What a lovely guy!
We met during New Year's Week in Rio, and I discovered a great guy, full of smiles, good and inteligent conversation.
He brings a good energy any time.
João, adorei conhecer você e espero de coração que nos encontremos novamente. Beijo grande!

João is a great person!
We talked during new years events, and it was awesome!!
Hope to see you again!

 

João has a great heart, always worried with those less fortunate people. As me, he was kind of a teacher in a favela, which shows his nice behavior. We've had nice and funny conversations during his stay in Rio, and now I feel we can be friends, cause we match! =)

Hope to see you soon, in Rio or anywhere!

João is very nice and sweet person, it’s just look at his eyes to know that he has a good heart, so it’s a pleasure to have him around… when I invited him to be my guest he already had other host, but it was great that I met him in many partiers and even ate the wonderful “bacalhau” (cod fish) he cooked!
Menino, você está nos devendo tocar violão na Lagoa, volta logo!!

 

João is a very simple person with a good felling and heart. We were talking in some meetings about travel and life. I think he´s prepared for life and is a good traveler too. You must meet him! =)

Well, how can I say? He is nice, very educated, good cooker. He is really a lovely person to have around. You´re always welcome in Rio, so we can have more parties, dinners, and talk a lot!

João is one of those special guests we only have once in a while. We got along so clearly since the day he arrived, when we almost missed a party because we couldn't stop chatting! :) He's so young, sweet and simple guy but, at the same time, has already so many experiences and stories to share. I just loved the time that we spent together talking, drinking, laughing, dancing, walking or drinking a little bit more... and I miss him very much right now! Really hope that we can meet again soon (Chile waits for us ;p)!! beijos, meu querido, e sucesso total!!!

 

nos conhecemos pessoalmente em um evento do couch surfing, e apesar de não termos conversado muito deu para ver que é uma ótima pessoa. abraços

 

Such a great guy that I miss the opportunity to have more time to talk to him and get to know him better.

João was one of the great surprises on the New Years Week in Rio. Always open to listen, learn, teach and talk about everything, we had a great time hanging out in Rio. Also, he is a very good cook on his country cuisine.

João is the superCool!! He is a very active person, with a big life experience and a lot of knowledge to share about a lot of things! I love the travelling lifestyle he is having at the moment =)
O mega abraço João =D

Hey, ça roule, ma poule?
Joao is a funny guy with his "rappy" very good french. We met in a hostal in Sao Paulo, Brasil and travelled together to Foz d'Iguacu which was my first couchsurfing experience, all thanks to him. Joao was a great couch assistant and now a good friend. He cooks good MORUE!!! A plus ma puce

** O Juan é muito simpático, legal e um bom cozinheiro, hehe.. fez um Bacalhau maravilhoso e me deixou a receita super detalhada, kkk.
Junto com ele veio uma amiga francesa, a Constance, muito gente boa também, até foi no curso de francês com meu marido, os alunos amaram ela.
Eles passearam nas Cataratas, Argentina e Paraguay.
Pena que ficaram pouco e no meio da semana, não tivemos tempo para sair.. Espero que voltem quando quiserem, serão sempre bem-vindos..
Adorei conhecê-los!

Juan, me desculpe qualquer coisa..

Beijão**

well unfortunally i met Joao only one day but i really liked to host him in my place.
He is that guy who are always smiling and with interesting stories.
I took him to a place that we used to go on summer time on the way to costa do sol beach.we call it Calcadao like In Brazil.
Hope to see you soon bro
cheers

João is a really nice guy. He´s always in a good mood and he has a GREAT taste for music.
I hope you have fun at hostel!!!

 

We had such a "smashingly" good time together that I left him rather teary-eyed!...;-))

Meet him and he will introduce to his many theories on weather + moods, on indicators for friendliness....I suggest you consider studying anthropology soon dear friend.

My wish for you is that you find a place where there are blue skies above you and a warm wind to caress you your skin...

João is one of my greatest friends,when i met him my life changed. The people that have met this pearl are very lucky, i feel bright to face our past and future together. Hope you get soon to Lisbon, i want you here!=) =) Até já!

The most adventurous person I've ever met.
He's very open-minded and just a lot fun to be with. He was the one who introduced me to couchsurfing.

Joao is pretty laid back and easy to get along with.He has some interesting stories about his travels and Portugal and i would recommend him as a couchsurfer with confidence.

JOE STAYED WITH US FOR 5 DAYS AND IT WAS A PLEASURE HAVING HIM. HOPE TO MEET UP WITH HIM AGAIN IF WE EVER GET TO LISBON. JOE YOU ROCK!!!

Se não posso realizar grandes coisas, posso pelo menos fazer pequenas coisas com grandeza foi assim que decidi dar um ajuda ao João e valeu..., tem um grande sentido de humor, é sincero é um amigo que se pode ter para o resto da vida.Tem um espirito livre , em resumo o João é ele mesmo não existe outro. And i looking forward to meet you again to....risos. Hinta honana macuero.

Joao has the most positive attitude--making the best of a stay at the beach after breaking his ankle! seemed a reserved but interesting character until the lights went down and DJ Nasty Crutch came out for the birthday celebration. A great, one-legged dancer :)

Joao you rock. BOMBACLAAT!!

hey yo - how is it overthere ?
finally i joined it few days ago.

after that day , i seperated with masa , cuz i supposed to go to the gambia to learn instrument , masa supposed to go to mali. but anyway he didnt go there, finally we stayied 2weeks more in the gambia . i learnt djembe for 2weeks and i learnt kora for 5weeks overthere.
im sure if you see those people who is traditional musician overthere, you will like to be with them .

so , eventually i arrived in Madrid yesterday . when i was in Dakar i stayed David's house as well .

he is really nice guy as you told me .

let me know about your journey .

be safe always .
see you somewhere in the world

 

Joao is a wonderful guy to host! Definitely lots of fun and a great laugh! =)

It was fun! so, first i met your boots =)))))))

 

Joao must be one of the most knowledgeable people I've met in a long time. He knows a lot about a lot!

I have hosted him for a couple of days and had the opportunity to show him around, introduce him to my friends and generally just hang around.

he has so much enthusiasm and am CURIOUS! Be prepared to answer a million questions :)

It was great hosting him and he was right at home everywhere I took him and with everyone I introduced him to.

Happy travels my friend - may you re-establish the Portuguese as the original explorers :)

Well he is quite an amusing person and always ready to build an interesting conversation. If you happen to meet him , be prepeared to be greeted in your own language.He surely does his homework b4 he meets everyone.

João Aguiar is a realy nice guy. I meet him while his stay in Jo'burg and I directly liked his attitude.."oh, I don't know how long I want to travel around the world, maybe 2 years, maybe a week" -great to do his own thing. I mean what more must I say about a portuguese guy who likes "Fuechse" from the german band Absolute Beginner,... he must be a cool person, no other chance.

A really great guy who can be a friend for life.

we met at a dinner with other couchsurfers in Joburg, he looks very genuine and very curious, definitely good company. and hey, he's the youngest ugly kid joe fan ever! good luck with the rest of your journey mate.

Joao is a curious traveller ! He is intrigued by everything and everyone. He is very sociable and is open to new cultures & ideas. He is the perfect traveller :) He is great company to have. Ate a proxima !

Joao is kind hearted and down to earth individual who made us feel really good about hosting him. A good guy who'd we'd love to see again in the near future. Keep well bro!!

I hosted Joao for four days and found him to be an extremely nice guy and also very interesting! I admire him as he is travelling the world in one go, and that is something I'd very much like to do one day! Joao I'l meet you in Portugal for sure! Happy travels...

 

The infomation he was carrying is amazing!
We met in the port because we were using same bag!! And worked around island together, met up next day in dakar again and hang around together again!
John, best wishes to your travel in South Africa!!

joao est une personne qui s'interesse beaucoup à la culture des autres et est très simple...il est sociable aussi....j'espère qu'on se reverra incha allah!

João its a very niceguy,very friendly,open mind,we spend our time in talking and exchanging informations about cultures and our life...even if the time was short but they are more than guest from CS...so don't hesitate to visit them or host them!

the 1st time i saw him i fel like i know him for a long time!!nice guy,funny & full of energy!!!
hope to see you again

Nice one, bro! :)
Hope you have luck while travelling and always take your heart with you - like you did in my place...
Stay tuned and
GO WITH THE FLOW! ;)

I never do this, but in this case I have to do. "Real positive person! Good vibes he's spreading wherever he crosses, and whoever he meets." It's funny, but what you tell about me, is the same I have to tell about you ;)

Conoci a Joao en Lisboa en una cena,me parecio una persona muy agradable.
Un saludo y suerte.

Namaste! finalmente lembrei-me!
Joao is a very happy guy with whom you'll be able to talk about everything and always in jolly mood! it's really nice to see how quicly we're becoming good friends and i can already forsee some great adventures in a common agenda. next one: guinea!
in sum, you'll have a blast in lisbon if u choose him as your host in this great city!

bis gleich!

 

What a shame that I only met João for a short time, he's a really friendly and warm person, and I'd like to know more about him and Portugal! Although he couldn't host me, he still invited me to his birthday party. I was there talking with his friends and helping to make dinner, though I didn't have time to taste what we made...haha. That was a cool party! Just visit me in Lyon or Taipei, João!

João is definitely a person with the cs spirit, always willing to help, is a smart, open-minded, open-heart person, if you have the chance go and meet, I consider him the trusworthy friend a person can have. Thank you João, I have spent great time, I have lenart many things, and I wish you all the best in you trip. OBRIGADA

Joao is just amazing!Full of good vibes, optimistic and strong positive energy to discover the world and to do many social and cultural things! When I met him,after I just wanted to meet him again and spend more time with him!He's a very funny,hlepful inteligent nice guy!You can only have a big smile when you are with Joao!We went for a critical mass by bike in Lisboa, picked up olives in the countryside and it was simply wonderful!Sincerely hope to see you soon!take care and have a wonderful trip all over mother earth!Take care, mon ami portuguais!

It was a fast meeting in the street with the "Loja gratis"(freeshop)!!... but I hope we will have other oppotunities to see us in Lisbon!! and play djembé!! Até breve João

Joao took us out for a nice Portugese dinner (with music included!) with a few of his friends. Good times indeed! Heçs interesting and seems to really enjoy meeting people from different places. All the best with your around the world trip and if Madrid makes your list, be sure to let me know! :)

I have to say that João is one of the purest and more well-intentioned people I have ever met. Friendly, happy, funny, open-minded, and full of initiative and ideas, your couch will be happy to meet him, and it will be difficult to find a better host!

 

João is a guy with an open vieuw and a big heart. He likes his city, but he likes the world as well. He wants to help you where he can. He is an idealist. I hope you will be it the rest of your life. He's funny as well. We had a great day in Sintra. Thanks a lot. As Paulo Coelho says: live your own life, do what's deep in your heart. Don't do what other people expect that you do... You have a lot of possibilities. Take care my friend. See you. Bart.

 

I met Joao in a nice bar in Lisbon, and we started to talk, also with his couchsurfer Sophie, thanks to the common interest---> Couchsurfing! (I was talking with another cs member...)
He seems (and I think is) a funny and smart guy...probably we'll see soon for a CS Dinner or something else! Fica bem!

Wow, I don't think that I can get any more positive about this guy!! João put up with my inability to pronounce his name and took me in like a good friend. He makes you feel immediately comfortable in his presence. He is very interested, curious, intelligent, thoughtful and caring. I'd hope he wouldn't mind me calling him a good friend. João will put a smile on the face of everyone he meets, and I know that he will be the one of the most considerate and enjoyable surfers/hosts you will meet in a long time. Donºt give up the opportunity to spend time with him! Thankyou so much for introducing me to Lisboa, and I expect to see you in Australia!

shorty is a talkative, optimistical and happy by nature action figure hero that cannot and will not stay put while the rest of the world is circuling around in a tea gaze of insanity =D

 

I've meet João when he was around 14 at summer camps! He was also a freshman at my Univ. He's a cool a nice fellow.

João is a very chilled and great guy. Good for hanging out and having some nice laughts. If you like sound, he is the man to look for!
