About Me

I've been traveling for one year. I finished my university in Brazil and decided to go to explore the unknown. Since there I worked in a cultural center in Barcelona for three months, hitchhiked a lot in Morocco, where I also volunteered in a English school and in a surf hostel, I worked in a restaurant in Georgia close to the border with Azerbaijan and in a kite surf hostel in beautifull paradise in Turkey. I worked also in a farm in Bulgaria and in hostels in Macedonia and Hungary. My last volunteer experience was in Bosnia where I worked in a safe house for refugees. When I'm moving to one place to another I try to avoid flights and go everywhere by local buses or hitchhike, and I love to stay with locals, this is my way to make my trip as original as possible. I had just great experiences using Couchsurfing so far and I'm really glad about the friends that I made here :)

Some more infos about me: In 2014 I lived for one year in Hungary to study engineering in Budapest and it was my first internacional experience, after that travel has been one of my priorities in life. In 2015 I traveled for 6 months working in hostels in South America, when I lived in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, two months in each country. Last year I was doing my internship in a steel factory in Brazil, that is the biggest in South America. Now I would like to experience as much as I can in my trip and to dive deep on the diverses aspects of the countries that I'm going to visit. My idea now is to spend my last days in Europe and go to Colombia to skip the winter in the north hemisphere. I dont have many plans after that but I'll be leading south for a few months until get to where I live in Brazil, I'll just let it go and see what happens. I hope to meet you somewhere in between. Cheers :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the best way to truly know a place and to meet amazing people. To learn things that you won't find in any book and to experience the real way of living in the places you go. Only the coolest people are willing to open their houses and to share their time with you. This is a great thing for that, to link people with the same passion, travel
