ABOUT ME

My name is Daniel and I am from São Paulo, Brazil. I spend the year of 2008 in Marseille studding business administration. During this year I traveled a lot in Europe using the Couch Surfing. Now I'm back home and I will finish the University in the end of 2009. In the future I want to work with Social Entrepreneurship.

I like to travel and know new places and persons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travel to Ireland, Scotland and England in this summer of 2008. It was really amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel with Couch Surfing is really good because we can know a lot of different people and learn a lot with then! I don't know if I have a lot to share, but I like to talk about lots of subjects and may be I can share my point of view with the others...
