About Me

I'm graduated in Leisure and Tourism, University of São Paulo. I'm a "entertainer" as a hobby and social projects coordinator as a passion . I love travel, meet new people and especially help them in something. I like to help people to structure their ideas, create projects and make something happen, especially when it solves a social problem.

Now I'm traveling with my best friend Bia (https://www.couchsurfing.com/beatriz.alves) around the world in a very low cost backpaking, searching for Social Projects and people that want to change the world! Our project is the Petecar and you can check here: www.facebook.com/ProjetoPetecar

I became a Commis Chef in New Zealand recently but now I'm back full time to my project, shooting photos and videos and editing it to share with the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world meet wonderful people and unespected places instead just go the popular tourist places and show people that you can do it with less money as you think. Nothing against the famous places, but I believe there is much more to see and learn "behind the scenes". I want to volunteer in some social projects and social entrepreneurships too. I want to learn and share everything I know.
