Traveling the world before settling down in Europe. I work remotely (night shifts, so my days are free!) and I’m using this chapter of my life to collect experiences, not things.

Honestly? Traveling solo is incredible for freedom but terrible for photos. I love golden hour photos, but the authentic moments are even better. The awkward laughs, the funny fails, the real stuff. Feel free to take candid photos of me in random moments, and if you’re okay with it, I’ll do the same :)

Those end up being the ones you actually look back at.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m not here for the accommodation, I’m here because some of the best travel moments happen with other people.

I’m always down to explore with someone. Go on a hike, try something new, do something that gives us a story to tell later.

I’m way more likely to say yes to “let’s go rock climbing” or “there’s this insane roller coaster nearby” than “let’s visit a museum.” Unless it’s something like Alcatraz. If the experience is an experience indeed, I’m in.

Basically: invite me to DO something, and I’ll probably say yes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies/Shows: Anime. If you’re into it, we’ll never run out of things to talk about. If you’re not, I’ll convert you.

Music: Eclectic. If it’s a good song, it’s a good song.

Books: Epic fiction and adventure, the kind where you forget to sleep because you need the next chapter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left everything behind to travel the world solo, working through the night and exploring during the day. It sounds amazing until you realize you’re eating dinner alone at 11pm in a country where you don’t speak the language. But I kept doing it, so it must be worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Brazilian Portuguese, basic chess openings (I play badly but enthusiastically), how to shuffle dance (or at least try), and how to survive as a digital nomad working night shifts.

I want to learn: How to kitesurf properly, and whatever hobby you’re passionate about. Passion is contagious.

Let’s share: Good food, a hiking, stories about the dumbest thing we’ve ever done while traveling.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
