About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get busy living, not dying

ABOUT ME

I like to travel a lot and get to know others cultures. But I dont like to see museums and statues. What I realy enjoy in traveling is being with the people of that culture. That is the real country, not monuments and towers.

I am 23 years. I study in Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). I joined couchsurfing so that I can host some people, get helped when I am traveling and, offcourse, get to know others. I like going out, because I can dance, talk and drink. Yet, I am living in Germany (I will be here until August), where I think I will have the oportunity to travel a lot.

I have lived in the USA for one year as a high school exchange student. After Germany my plans are to expend some time in Buenos Aires, to learn some spanish and "conocer las jodas portenas".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Morro de São Paulo, in the state of Bahia. Go to google and check out some pictures...

Also I traveled around Europe for almost one month with my good argentinian friend Germán.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn german and work my english and spanish skills.

What I can teach and share? Well, I could be your personal guide in Belo Horizonte. If you want to listen to Brazilian tradicional music, like Samba, I can take you. If you would like to try our national drink, the Cachaça, or food, I know the perfect place! If you want to know the historical cities of my state, it can be a little bitt hard, but I can also help you out! (Use BH as a "base" to know the historical cities from Minas Gerais is a great idea!)
