About Me

Born and raised in the marvelous and "très dangereux" city of Rio. I have a degree and passion for photography, but my main goal in life is to travel. It might be some sort of wanderlust syndrome, however I still want to know "what is behind that mountain". Don't you?

I was living in that grey New York when I decided to leave everything behind and give myself the opportunity to get to know new places. So I came to Canada, even more grey than NYC, but the nice people I have met along the way and the snow made everything colorful.

Agora, meus amigos do HU3-BR, voltei pro nosso Brasilsão, esperando fazer amigos, conhecer novos lugares, experimentar novos sabores, ares, serras e praias. Do frio ao calor, não importa, tem muita terra a ser visitada aqui.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It will sound a bit crazy:

I hitchhiked 9500 km from Atacama Desert (Chile) going all they way to Patagonia, and then to São Paulo (Brazil); I worked as a fashion photographer in New York; I almost died working as a photographer covering the biggest protest we've ever had in Brazil (3 million people); I volunteer in Organic Farms in Quebec, learning about herbal medicine, permaculture, cleaning big barns, building massive greenhouses, digging ditches with heavy machinery, demolishing, cutting metals and wood; I used to be a stockbroker at BM&F Bovespa (Brazilian Dow Jones). It's very interesting, but stressful; (DoP) Director of Photography for a very bizarre long-métrage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to take pictures or how to improve your skills on it, however, I'm not a good teacher; I can also teach you portuguese and spanish (or even some shitty english); travel experiences; I'm willing to learn anything you have to offer me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually offer my presence ;), but can also help you with cooking, cleaning, shopping, driving, remove some snow (canadian modus operandi), etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Canada, Chile, France, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, United States, Uruguay
