About Me

I’ve questioned my life style for the past five years. I had a stable job, working for the Brazilian government with an ok salary – a quite common life. Some events made me change my mind and I put into practice things that I’d been dreaming of for quite some time. In 2018, I decided to take a sabbatical and I moved to the beach. I then started to host people through Couchsurfing. Hosting people was life-changing. I got to know some incredible people whose life styles inspired me. Some of them were hitchhiking, others were seeing the world in from their bikes, some were traveling until their money was over, others were simply on vacation. They all had in common the same goal: to meet people, to see places, to have new experiences, to dare the unknown. These people were my ultimate motivation to quit my job and try out a more adventurous life, one that didn’t include an office and a set timetable. So, in 2019 I started my trip!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because meeting people and sharing moments with them makes all the sense in the world to me.
Couchsurfing seems unique in putting people together. Share knowledge and experiences, share moments and laughs!

Interests

Sightseeing, drinking beer, chatting, learning about new cultures. Oh, and swimming, of course!!!
And lately cycling and rowing!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. Period. When traveling, I love to get to know the local music.
Movies: I’m keen on alternative and European movies.
Books: I can’t read just one book at a time. At the moment, I’m reading Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley and Disgrace, by J. M. Coetzee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job in 2019 to live the life that I’ve ever dreamed of.
