About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create and develop artistic, social and political projects mixing culinary and visual arts to contribute to achieve a sustainable society.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Visual Artist, chef and nomad, I've been traveling for several years around South
America, living between Brazil and Colombia, enjoying the chance to experience our extended culture, its wonderfulness and make the traveling the path of my self knowledge and my creative method. I've used couchsurfing a few times, because I used to create a human and friend analogue network while a I had the chance to travel for a long time. This time, I got a very short time to make this trip around Spain (mostly), Portugal and Italy, so I wanted to get back to couchsurfing and have this experience again.

Right now I'm leaving to Spain to make a an artistic residency in Madrid but before i want to take a little trip around Spain and a beat more o Europe. I just have 21 days to make it, so i do want to make it easy, chilly and lovely having the opportunity to meet local people and share with them a coffee, a dinner and a warm chat.

PHILOSOPHY
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That's why we call it the present"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Couchsurfing because I do believe that sharing its the most precious thing about traveling and the whole purpose of been nomad its to exchange experiences, knowledges, ideias and moments with each other. That's what creates possibilities to discover the greatness of been human.
