About Me

Probably your first impression of me would be: extremely shy and reserved. But, I swear, all that shyness fades away quickly after some conversation (especially if there's some beer involved). In essence, I'm laid-back, friendly, and a bit of a dreamer. I'm always up for some adventure and new experiences to broaden my horizons. I enjoy wandering around aimlessly, listening to live music, having long conversations, and getting to know good people (it restores my faith in humanity).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It has been more than 10 years since my initial experience with couch surfing. I began by attending gatherings held in my city, Curitiba. At that time, my goal was to absorb as much information as possible about backpacking-style travel. Today, after several journeys, my objective is to share memorable moments with good people and gain a deeper understanding of the world from the unique perspective of those who explore it.

Interests

I've been a designer for a little over a decade now, and during that time, I've dabbled in various aspects of the field: interiors, furniture, trade shows and exhibitions, branding, graphic design, UI/UX . I'm pretty darn passionate about anything that revolves around my profession, and naturally, I'm head over heels for all kinds of art.

When I'm not in design mode, you'll often find me strumming my guitar and crafting tunes in my downtime. Those moments are my "me time," where I get to listen to my inner thoughts and let the daily chaos settle. Live music and dancing also hold a special place in my heart.

I've been a abol vegan for about three years now. To me, veganism is mostly a political stance, a way to champion climate action and the rights of our non-human friends. But there's a spiritual side to it that I find quite profound. I'm always up for a good chat about this topic, but don't worry, I'm not the preachy type of vegan. I firmly believe that all discussions should be positive and respectful, honoring everyone's unique journey. And to cap it all off, I'm a big fan of exploring new flavors, swapping recipes, and getting creative in the kitchen.

Teach, Learn, Share

For me, listening is also a part of self-discovery, which is why I love hearing stories and learning from them. I believe that everyone carries unique and worthwhile experiences. I humbly offer a piece of myself, my story, and the little things I've learned along the way in return.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some delicious vegan food, or teaching a bit os portuguese and Brazilian culture. I also can offer some free design consultation or guitar lessons for beginners :)
