Hello, I'm a long-time (offline) couchsurfer. I've always enjoyed staying with friends for while travelling and having friends stay with me. I also enjoy meeting people of all ages, learning and exchanging experiences.

I love learning about cultures and business and how things are done, the differences and similarities, in other places.

I was born in Rio, lived in New York for 2 years in the 90s and have called Sydney home since 2005.

2018 is my first year as a digital nomad, and I am curious to see other people's working habits and learn everyone's productivity tips - and perhaps write a book about it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I currently organise BitcoinSYD and Blockchain Professionals meetups in Sydney, Australia. I love being a part of creating the amazing crypto community we have in Australia.

I first found out about bitcoin in 2013 and have been learning ever since.
I served on the board of the Blockchain Association of Australia as their vice-president for one full term in 2015.

I ran the Sydney Basket Brigade for 2 years (2015-2016), a grassroots organisation that packs and delivers food hampers and presents during the festive season to families that are going through tough times. The objective is lifting their spirits and bring them a bit of hope, letting them know that we all go through tough times and bring some community spirit to their lives.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach what I've learned so far about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Would love to learn about your working habits and productivity tips.
I can definitely pay my share of household expenses while I crash at your place, such as food and utilities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to cook communal meals and contribute to the household.
