Hello, Hola, Oi, Salut!!

We are Gustavo and Thaís!

We're a Brazilian couple that quit our corporate jobs and hit the backpacking road a year and a half ago. Since then we have been on a beautiful path of true love - to others and to each of our own selves - of non-violence and overall of respect. Not only to other human beings but to the planet as a whole. Respecting the environment, the animals and all the living beings. We've been trying harder and harder to fight the system and we know it’s a hard mission because everyone grows up believing in so many things that are not true - but we're totally in for working for ourselves doing something genuinely good instead of being a machine that doesn't live consciously! We believe the future is vegan and collaborative and people will exchange favors and live in a sharing community. Gustavo loves to cook and he knows some amazing vegan dishes that you would love. He also plays the Ukulele and gives a nice soundtrack to our lives. Thaís loves to read and write and she's writing a book about her personal enlightenment experiences and about waking up from the life most people have and finding a mystical and beautiful path. We both practice Slackline - we think is a wonderful sport that connects mind and body and we could go together to a park for practicing! CS for us is also all about sharing. The best friends we made since we left Brazil in June 2018 were all from CS!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We intend to search for what really matters in life - happiness, helping others, meeting inspirational people, making friends, visiting amazing places. We believe that life has more to offer than a typical daily life in the office and we are up to finding out what's beyond this ordinary routine.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach some cooking skills - we make an awesome burger - , slackline (we’re learning, you can learn with us!), maybe some english and even some ukulele songs (our travel buddy).
