Overview
About Me
Hi there! I'm a 26-year-old born and raised in Brazil, currently residing in my hometown of Curitiba. I have a deep love for nature and enjoy spending my time exploring trails, waterfalls, mountains, and beaches, which is why most of my travels involve these outdoor activities.
I hold a degree in mechanical engineering and currently work with data at a digital bank. I also enjoy the nomad lifestyle from time to time to figure out how I want to pursue my future endeavors.
For the past nine years, I've been practicing yoga and although I'm not an expert, I love pushing myself through sports such as running, cycling, and most recently, rock climbing.
My belief is that our purpose in this world is to experience as much as we can, which is why I'm always thrilled to learn new things, try different activities, and meet new people and places.
Unfortunately, I can't host anyone at the moment. I share my house with three other people and a dog, so we're currently lacking space for guests
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe cultural exchange is the way to a peaceful society and travelling with Couchsurfing really helps you connect with people, experience other cultures. I basically expect to know the places I visit from a new perspective an share experiences by making new friends around the world.
For me CS shows how good the world can be. People genuinely giving what they can without asking for anything in return.

Music, Movies, and Books
My two favorite authors are George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, and I have to say that my all-time favorite book is Huxley's Brave New World. These days, I tend to lean towards history, psycology, spirituality and travel books.
When it comes to music, Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band, but I also have a soft spot for electronic, jazz, and acoustic sounds.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I started travelling alone when I was 16, on a trip to Canada and ever since I can remember, my solo trips always gives me the most amazing experiences.
