I'm from Brazil and have lived almost all my life there. In the past years, I decided to travel hitchhiking in South America and Europe. During this time, I have used Couchsurfing and did volunteer work. It was a great experience that made me realize how we can create beautiful connections if we open ourselves to that.

I see the road as a spiritual guide showing us everything we need to improve. There is movement and impermanence. There are unknown people and kindness. There is less "I" and more "us". Our graduations and status disappear. Our more natural side comes up. And the most important thing, we start to live the reality as it is: without the past and future, just the now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I truly believe in a better world, where the barriers are not so great and people can exchange sincere glances that last more than a few thousandths of a second. I believe that we will only achieve this when we see more of ourselves in others.

I'm here to share those moments and to learn from them. ✌🏽
