About Me

I'm a well travelled person, I have lived in many different countries (4 years in Brazil, 3 years in Spain, 1 year in Mexico, 1 year in Germany) and traveled all over the world (Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, French Polynesia, South Africa, just to name these).

I have a good international background, work in international business and take pleasure out of traveling, meeting people of different cultures, countries, speak different languages, share travel experience, or talk about many different subjects (like wine tasting, dancing, music, sports, etc)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have done couchsurfing for over 20 years since my first big trip to Mexico. (actually was on site that existed way before couch surfing like stay4free, or hospitality club), and have hosted or been hosted by A LOT of people in the different countries I have lived in or traveled to.
