About Me

I'm a music journalist, former publisher of the only jazz and blues magazine in Latin America, and also worked for the main newspapers in Brazil.
But my main passion is to travel, so I sold my house in 2015 and started to travel around the world. I had great experiences in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, interacting with local people and other travelers. I also traveled around Central and Eastern Europe, and now I'm back to the Balkans.
In the past I have traveled to many other countries in the Americas, Western Europe, Asia and Africa. So I have many stories to tell.
As I'm travelling all the time, I can't offer accommodation now, but I want to do that when I settle down somewhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main goal is to meet local people, the best way to know the culture of the countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be living as a nomad around the world

Teach, Learn, Share
