Brazilian half italian based nowhere. I am a full time traveller for 8 years now. I usually say home is where my heart is. Love to travel solo, been to +- 60 countries!

I am a journalist and I have my own travel blog since 2013. Here it is if you wanna take a look - sorry , written in portuguese! www.fuigosteicontei.com.br or https://instagram.com/fuigosteicontei/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here since 2013, so not new on CS, but I must say I used it just a few times in my travels - in Croatia, Chile, Serbia, Turkey. During a trip in summer to Patagonia, I surfed a few coachs and had really great times with local people that welcomed me. Also used a lot CS when travelling Turkey last year, Egypt in 2022 and Israel / Palestine this year.

I wanna keep using it not only to get a free bed, for me it means much more then that, but to have the chance to know a place from a local's perspective and also make good friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhike all the chilean Patagonia on my own.
Sell brigadeiros on the street at the Atacama Desert because got there with no money at all. One year later I was with my own agency there selling tours to brazilian tourists. We killed it!
Sleep in a treehouse in the middle of the jungle with elephants, zebras and lions somewhere around in Zimbabwe.
Jump in a frozen lake after doing finnish sauna in Lapland. Weather temperature was -35 C degrees this day.
Live on a campervan for a couple of months.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs, culture, good stories, cooking, walks, beer, veggie food, music, I'm this kind of person that say yes to (almost) everything. But if you are busy or usually don't share a lot, no worries, I'm also very independent and can happily go around on my own.
