I am a socially conscious, outdoor enthusiast who works as an environmental consultant in the SF Bay Area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and get to know the culture of a place rather than seclude myself in a hotel room in a generic artificial environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up in Brazil and speak fluent Portuguese.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make wine and port as a hobby and am happy to share what I have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share my experiences living in Brazil, traveling through the Karakoram range of northern Pakistan, making wine, dealing with environmental issues, and exploring beautiful wild areas of the west. I also come from a tradition of family songs that we have compiled over generations that I am glad to share.
