About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, know different places and show Manaus to people from all the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm easygoing, laid back and I have a huge enthusiasm for life I am living with my girlfriend (Karine Pantoja) and my brother (Thiago Imotep).
As Bob Marley said "maybe I'm fickle and unpredictable".

PHILOSOPHY

Every problem can be solved, be patient and honest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Exchange experiences is the best way to teach and learn different things. I started to host CS friends in 2012 and all my experiences were amazing.
I like to take new friends and show them our best places, taste the best tipical food in Manaus and collect terrific memories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2012, I started my experiences in a meeting with several people from different cities, after that I surfed a couch in Utah/USA for the first time and I appreciated very much! I drove for eight hours to find out beautiful landscapes in Provo, Nephi's city, my best friend there.
In 2014, I tried another great couch in Rio de Janeiro, Moreover, I have met and done new friends from Chile, USA, Iceland, Russia, South Korea, France, England, Slovenia, Germany, Colombia, China, Argentina and different parts from Brazil.
I hosted many friends and I'm enjoying pretty much! The best thing in CouchSurfing is know different people with different accents, different experiences, perspectives of life!
