About Me

I'm an easy-going Brazilian guy, addicted to traveling as most couchsurfers are. I love to meet new people and exchange experiences.

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted some very interesting people in Brasilia, Dakar, Berlin and Tbilisi, people who enriched so much my life and my view of life. Some of them turned into very good friends.

- Experiencing Nowruz in Yazd in the house of a local family and visiting the Temple of Fire
- Being chased by police in Madrid with a bunch of Chinese illegal immigrants
- Doing an amazing campervan trip with my sister along a big part of the Australian coastline
- Partying + karaokeing in Vietnam with members of the Vietnamese Communist Party during a party congress
- Visiting the Route des Esclaves in Benin and the Maison des Esclaves in Senegal (big emotional experience)
- Tour of the Pyongyang breweries
- Drinking and partying in the tunnels of the Paris catacombs
- Spent with my wife part of our honeymoon in a tiny fisherman village in Madagascar
- Going around the Caspian Sea with our car (8000 km trip, 7 countries)
- Camping on the side of the Gates of Hell in Turkmenistan
- Extensive bar hopping (where possible, of course), in almost every city and town visited!
