About Me

I feel like life is all about people and the amazing synchronicities that unfold once we stop thinking too much and just let life guide us.
So, at the beginning of 2017 when I graduated from civil engineering in Brazil and decided to go leave home with no return ticket and only one month planned and traveled around Europe and Southeastasia using mostly Couchsurfing and Workaway (if you don't know it, check it!).
Now I am doing a master in Sustainable Development in Germany (with one semester abroad in Japan) and, although it feels nice to kind of settle down, I also miss the freedom of traveling. That's why I try to do as many small trips as possible and always use CS, as it feels like the most authentic way to travel and meet amazing people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is a joy in meeting new places and people that I find often when I am traveling and I guess that Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet locals who are open minded and can show you around.
Hosting is also awesome and a really important way to give something back to the CS community!

Interests

I am quite open minded and the more I travel the more I absorve new things and cultures. I try to use my skills in order to help people I meet on my way and that means that I have helped families buit their houses, I usually leave drawings or pictures I have made with people that host me and try to play some decent Ukulele songs. I have a lot of energy so really enjoy being outside and doing things together with other people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

It is very, very difficult for me to choose favorites. I was not born to make this kind of choices but I do have a big list of recommendations to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Camino de Santiago, a 800 km hike in the north of Spain!
Leave home without a return ticket and not so much planned - still doing that

Teach, Learn, Share

"It's like your life is yours to CREATE"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer some help with gardening, building, teaching Portuguese, share stories, drawings, cooking and depending on the hosts courage, playing the Ukulele (still working on that skill). I am easy-going, trust me =)
