ABOUT ME

Oh, really? I hate talking about myself like that :p. Anyway, I think I'm still trying to understand myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I live in touristic city, I'd like to receive guests and show them around the many beautiful places in Rio.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Received three guests and those were all very nice experiences. It's curious how people come in the summer, mainly around carnival. But you should know that Rio is the most beautiful city in autumn. Blue skies, no rain and the weather is not hot like hell (as it is in summer). So, tha's a tip ;).

Interests

Mainly music, football, cinema, reading, history and videogames. But I like lots of stuff, really. And I am open to (almost) any new experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, i can teach about my country, some stuff about history, music, movies. Portuguese, of course. And some other things i don't remember now. I am a very good Trivial Pursuit player (at least for the brazilian edition)!
