I'm willing to pay upto $30 for a 1.5 - 2 hour long session.
Some other things to note:
- As of now I'm *only* able to do the sessions in the evening anytime between 6 and 9 pm my time , which is between 10 pm and 2:00 am your time.
- I'm looking to have a session *regularly* once every two weeks.
- I would like to do this for an extended period of time so please be ready to commit for at least a few months. I tried this out last year with two different people, but both stopped after a few weeks due to personal reasons.
Please respond with a little bit about yourself and your availability. I look forward to hearing from you!
I also do pool cleaning in Barra da Tijuca nice big houses.
(there goes my man Marcão, Brother and business partner... that guy can handle an olympic pool with broken pump/rusted filter!)
Speak native carioca portuguese, fluent english and rusted spanish.
I worked 2005 as a surfing instructor, which led me to a 5-month surftrip on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii...
Over there I worked as the shuttle driver for the North Shore Backpackers hostel, located between Waimea Bay and Foodland Market (http://www.backpackers-hawaii.com). Used to drive around 10-16 people/day between North/South Shore (airport and Waikiki area), talking about touristic and historical aspects of Hawaii throughout the drive.
Due to hawaiian influence, I decided to get a 72 green VW Bus, on which I plan to travel may5th to visit a friend in San Francisco, then enter a ship to last park at Backpackers.
In 2006 I offered Rio city tour service on weekends, on a 70's laid-back vintage multi-cultural atmosphere, whereas people riding the bus had the opportunity to practice other languages, learn from the carioca culture, acquire a better level of knowledge about Brazilian society and politics, get together, have a good time, make friends with folks from abroad and, for those willing to stay longer in Rio, develop a local network of contacts - a network which dramatically increased their chances of relocating themselves within Rio city on a self-supported basis, according to their professional background.
I offer myself to help you out anyway I can to give your stay in Rio a little BOOST.
Whenever I run out of ideas, I go for a little research...
I´ll give you references upon request:
(1) this guy from San Francisco who I´ve hosted for months, and who now considers himself an amerioca (beautiful haircut..);
(2) a hawaiian girl who happened to be in my bus the day it broke down coming from the airport towards Ipanema, and who ended up staying with me for a couple of weeks;
(nice calf... hers...hummm)
(3) a girl from NYC, who liked it here so much she had a hard time booking her return flight!!.
(trying to scape out the window - jetlag collateral effect)
I also enjoy photography, drawing and music.
