Hello everybody! I am a Brazilian PhD student from Sao Paulo. Besides doing science, I love to travel and meet new people. So I think the CouchSurfing will give me the perfect opportunity to meet amazing people around the world. I can tell you every single person I’ve met so far in my life taught something and improved myself… And I really hope I am doing the same.

I like to talk a lot (I can be shy at the beginning, but I can talk about everything, no tabus) and share my experiences. I also like to cook (I know to bake Macarons and people say it is a big accomplishment), to try new food, to do sports (bike, hiking, running) and listen to all kind of music you can imagine (mostly electro, but classical too)! Reading (From Stephen Hawking to Harry Potter), watch series (from Game of Thrones to Friends) and movies (From Back to the Future to Ben-Hur [the old one]) and so on...

As a traveller, I try to do my best to enjoy as maximum as I can! I am also very organized and I will left the place the same as I found.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This a beautiful work done by amazing people who is sharing their homes and their experience to complete strangers. This is wonderful, so if you are reading this, you are awesome, and thank you to provide this experience and give shelter to so many people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Grow up and study in a poor neighborhood in Brazil and end up at MIT anyways. This is not supposed to be a “amazing” accomplishment, but a right of every kid. That’s way I do my best to fight for the right of education for everybody, because I believe in the power of the education against the social differences (which is not supposed to exist).

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing like a good conversation and a glass (or two) of wine to teach, learn and share experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations about everything (culture, travel, aliens, gravitational waves, what makes you happy, what makes me happy…), cooking...
