Born and raised in Brazil, I moved to Canada at the age of 18. After 5 years of engineering and 1 failed attempt at a startup on wearable technologies, I decided it was time to travel. Now, my only goal in life is to step foot on all 196 countries in this world - 183 to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I strongly believe that to fully experience a new place we must see its beauties, hear its stories, and feel its energy. And even better, do all of that with someone who knows the place!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After being driven by societal rules and family expectations for 24 years of my life I decided it was time to do something I consider amazing: be truly free. I said goodbye to everyone I love, I sold everything I had, and I left my home, forever. Some people call me crazy. I don't disagree. In fact, I believe everyone is unique in their own way. I just thought that the world was too big, and decided to see it all.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from being extremely clean and organized (the good type of OCD), being quite handy (I still remember some engineering), and having semi decent cooking skills (I like it spicy), I am more than willing to share expenses and anything else that needs assistance with. In fact, I am not doing this to save money.

I am always very sociable, and have many experiences I love to share. More importantly however, I am an even better listener, and I'd love to learn something from you too.
