About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning and improving on how to trekk with a child =D

ABOUT ME

A Brazilian guy living in Scandinavia since 10 years.
I love to travel, get in contact with different cultures and to go out in the nature hiking. Im always eager to talk about natural outings but also about topics out of the woods, being music, films, IT or pretty much anything. I am always looking forward to a good chat with friends followed by a good beer or drinking mate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I surf, we chat, we have dinner, we drink mate. I want to meet interesting and different people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far Ive received about 50-60 persons and Ive surfed at more then 20 places (plus met many others). It has been awesome, people that show up here have always so much experience to share. On the other hand, when you travel and get to know how is the local's life, instead of only the tourist scene.
