Overview
About Me
I'm a Brazilian-born traveler with Portuguese roots and German heritage from my grandfather.
Since 2009, I’ve been living in Europe, exploring its cultures, people, and landscapes.
I have been on Couchsurfing for many years and met incredible people along the way.
With 100% positive references, I truly value the connections this platform makes possible.
Nature is where I feel most at peace - rivers, lakes, and mountains.
I'm also a fan of cultural exchange, I have participated in Workaway projects in Portugal, Germany, Poland, Montenegro, Slovenia, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, and Spain.
These experiences have helped me grow and appreciate different ways of living.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For cultural exchange, meaningful conversations, and building connections that often turn into friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I stepped away from TV and mainstream media in 2009 to focus on my life/real experiences.
I’ve done a series of long-distance journeys across Europe. Over the course of several months, I took multiple solo road trips, each time driving my own car from Poland and returning home before setting off again a few months later. I drove my car from Poland to Greece and back, then to Norway and back, and later to Portugal and back.
My most memorable adventure, though, was a 68-day journey by bus and train. I traveled slowly through many countries, with Moscow and Kyiv as the furthest points before turning back and eventually returning to London. What made it special wasn’t just the destinations, but the entire journey—the people I met, the pace of travel, and the feeling of being on the road for so long.
