About Me

I'm currently traveling through the centennial route (Oregon to Virginia) by bike with a friend from Brazil. We started on May 4th and will probably finish late July.

After this trip I'll be in Philly for 2 years doing my MBA

ABOUT ME

Well, I come from a state called Minas Gerais, which is really beautifull and nice to spend some time if you like mountains, farms and waterfalls.

I lived in Rio for 5 years, I felt in love with this city, with its beaches and the weather (yeah, I hate cold). Rio is a city where you'll definately have the opportunity to do different and amazing things!

In 2013, I lived in Paris for 6 months, so I had the opportunity to travel a lot in Europe and I've been to a lot of countries there, but unfortunately only few days in each one of them. Well, I still have more time to get to know the better, since I'll definately travel a lot in my whole life!

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Going to CS meetings and hosting people here in Rio. I'll probably surf somewhere during my vacations in the end of this year!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I created my profile few years ago, but used for the first time last year. I surfed in Amsterdam and in Brussels and went to CS meetings in Paris.

As what concern to host people, I've hosted a few during the world cup here in Brazil.

Interests

I like to know about other cultures, sports, running, partying and to meet new people.

Je veux aussi améliorer mon français! Donc, si tu veut rester chez moi et tu parle français, ça será "formidable" haha
