I am Felice, Italian of birth and Brazilian by heart. World citizen because of my nomadic lifestyle.

Years ago, I funded the first co-working space of Qatar working with likeminded individuals. After a while, I left my job and suddenly went to live in Brazil. Yes, just because I felt it!

I spent my last three years in beautiful Brazil where I first moved to volunteer, hosted by local families in communities. Living in Sao Paulo I was able to work as a social volunteer, foreign languages professor and baby sitter, among other things. Little by little, I had the chance to learn the language, feel totally integrated with the culture and gain a job as Innovation Specialist in one of the largest food companies of Brazil and the world.

There I fund the first Innovation and Entrepreneurial area of the company. A movement to support start-ups and entrepreneurs that are reinventing the food industry. Don’t say we don’t need it, hey!!! Eheh The entire project grew so fast that we moved to the Silicon Valley, Caliornia where I lived surrounded by amazing entrepreneurs.

Life is strange. Isn’t it?! After all my achievements and years of studying and working around the world, I realized life is so much more than just business, innovation and all of the rest I was thought.

So I left my job once again to start a sabbatical around the world.

Here I am now, full time traveller and nomad. Inspiring more people to travel and explore the world through my brand new project: FORGET ABOUT IT TRAVEL. An experience made out of beautiful experiences around the world host by locals and strangers. On a very cheap daily budget and always looking for social impact experiences.

What to say. Life is a beautiful journey. I am trying all my best to literally living it in this exciting way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the world is a beautiful place. We mostly learned the opposite about it and after years of hosting and being host from strangers around the world I understood CS is the perfect way to make the world a better place.
