About Me

I am a music, physics and philosophy lover.

Meeting new people from different cultures around the world is for me one of the most beautiful things in life. As I started to travel years ago and realized how awesome people are.
I had the chance to cross the USA in a van with some surfers I randomly met in Nebraska, which became good friends and showed me how simple and beautiful life is. After this, I started to travel all around the world and if everything works fine, I still want to do it for the rest of my life.

Also, I love playing piano. Sometimes I forget the world outside by doing it! Music is a great passion I have since I was a kid and I still play many instruments today.

I'm a former student of mechanical engineering and former bioengineering researcher at Stevens Technology Institute in New York City Greater Area. Now I will study engineering in Germany, where the best universities on the area are.
I can't stay in the same place for a long time; traveling is a must. The world is an adventure that I am ready to step in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people and new places around the world. Couchsurfing provides a great opportunity to learn and share experiences with people that are open minded and also ready to live moments with different people.

Interests

I love music. I cannot think about my live without music. Walking around the world to find people that love music as I do amazes me.

Hiking, Science and Books in general are also other things I love. Hopefully we share some interests!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bike completely alone from the North of Florida until Key West, an island on the Atlantic Ocean, and right after take a plane to Brazil.

This is although a very long story, we might need a coffee first.
