About Me

As I live and travel with my husband, André, I think it wiser to put our description.

We are curious and passionate about exploring the world and its various cultures. We love to travel, and we are always looking for new ways to get to know other cultures and have new experiences. I work with innovation and entrepreneurship, while my husband André works with technology.

In the last 10 years I have received in my house more than 30 people, who came from different places and stayed here for different periods of time, friends, travelers from CS, people who spend from one night to people who became my friends and shared the house with me. Now we are the travelers! We sold all of our stuff and we took the road.

As we love to travel, we decided to change our lifestyle to digital nomads, and follow our hearts with our backpacks to a model where we could work and travel at the same time.

We decided to start our adventure in Ecuador, on May / 2019, looking to get new experiences, enjoying the moment of each new place that we meet and mainly learning a lot about ourselves during this journey.

PHILOSOPHY

Curiosity, empathy and self consciousness. We really believe that things are as they meant to be, and if we are doing good things to others and the environment and living our life in a good vibe what is ours will always find a path to us and we will always have the best for our lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are at Couchsurfing because we love to travel and meet new people and cultures, so it is always a pleasure to be able to receive people at home, just as we love to be with other people when we travel, which gives us a much more interesting view of the places we visited and their culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We like to collect places that we have been sleep in (we have a collection of pictures of those places) and the most interesting one is probably on the 'roof' of a boat in Maya Bay, Thailand, beside that, we already slept on buses, trains, motorhomes, airports and Walmart parking lots, and they had been amazing experiences too.

Teach, Learn, Share

As travelers and mainly as curious, we are always interested in a good conversation! We love hearing a good story and also sharing our worldviews. We can give very cool tips on how to travel super economically, as well as on tourism in Brazil and Latin America.

We are studying and doing a lot of experiments about how what people eat change their life in many ways and this became a passion about we can talk for hours.

Also, we love to cook, especially healthy foods and we can both cook for our hosts (and guests!) As well as share recipes mainly without gluten and lactose, or raw and ferments stuff - and obviously some typical things from Brazil.
