About Me

It`s been forever since I last used CS (probably 2016/2017), so I had to create a new profile.

After almost 10 years of working on cruise ships all over the World, I am now looking for new challenges.

* I had originally planned to spend some time in Thailand but had to postpone the trip (somehow I could not update my "Interests" so still shows info from the time I was going there).

I still have one year left before I graduate in International Relations, so meeting people from different cultures is always a great opportunity to learn and share ideas and experiences.

I speak Portuguese, English, and a little bit of Spanish (Portuñol).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, make friends, share experiences, and have a safe place to stay while traveling.

Interests

Looking forward to explore the Temples, street food, beaches and learn about Thai life.
I am also excited to expand my photography skills.

Music, Movies, and Books

It`s hard to choose one favorite music, but the artists I listen to the most are Joji, The Blaze, Post Malone, Enter Shikari, August Burns Red, Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, and many more.

Movies are even harder to choose. Babel, La Mala Educacion, Babylon, Unbroken, Mystic River, The Mule, Gran Torino, Hunger, El Secreto del Rio, Lion, and many more.

Books are easier to choose from: A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, The Book Thief, Papillon, and Banco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing Russia from Moscow to Ulan-Ude, then visiting Mongolia and ending in Beijing for a quick visit to the Great Wall.

Recently, the most challenging and incredible things I`ve done were hikes at a very high altitude (The Atacama Desert and Cusco/Machu Picchu).

I am used to living at sea level, so hiking over 4000 meters above sea level is quite an adventure for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not a “Master Chef” but I will do my best to show some skills in the kitchen preparing some basic Brazilian food :)

I can teach some Portuguese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My 10+ years of traveling around the World have made me accumulate thousands stories to share, including the Pandemic times when I stayed for 11 months at sea on a cruise ship :)
