About Me

Your first impression of me might be that I'm really shy and reserved. But I promise, that shyness disappears pretty quickly after a bit of conversation (especially if there's beer involved). At heart, I'm easygoing, friendly, and a bit of a dreamer. I’m always up for adventure and new experiences to expand my horizons. I love wandering around with no particular destination, listening to live music, having deep conversations, and meeting great people—it restores my faith in humanity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been over 10 years since I first got into couch surfing. I started by going to meetups in my hometown, Curitiba, with the aim of soaking up everything I could about backpacking. Now, after countless trips, my focus has shifted to sharing unforgettable moments with great people and gaining a deeper understanding of the world through the unique lens of fellow travelers.

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 :)
