I'm an easygoing, open minded guy, always willing to know new people, places and cultures! I'm a Brazilian PhD student in engineering (though i'm interested in many areas, like music, art, history, psychology, etc..) who lived in Germany (Chemnitz) for 1,5 year, and now i'm back to Rio de Janeiro, seeing the city in a whole different way after my time away!

I love hiking up mountains through forests, I'm back to climbing after many years, and i like every kind of adventure! I also love to know the history and culture of new places, including the language, food and drinks! Hahaha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking over the glacier "Perito Moreno" in Argentina, seeing the Fjords in winter, the Northern Lights and going dog sledding in Norway, Trekking in Ilha Grande (Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro state) for 4 days, road tripping with a friend through 12 cities and 5 countries (Germany, Czechs Republic, Poland, Netherlands and Belgium) in 2 weeks, being able to live in Germany for a whole year... luckily, it's hard to pick one!
