Overview
About Me
I believe everyone in this community loves travelling, and I'm not the exception!
I've published a book about a long trip I had in Europe, using Couchsurfing: https://inglaterraeportugal.blogspot.com/2019/03/68-dias.html
After a long trip to Europe (2017):
This was my first solo trip and first experience with Couchsurfing! As I got some nice and friendly hosts that had me in their houses, now I'm starting to host!! It was great to know this community!
I wrote a book/journal of my trip to Europe, waiting to be published.
After a long trip to Argentina and Chile (2019):
I went on a 42 days motorbike trip to the Andes, and was warmly welcomed by Couchsurfing basically the whole trip! I want to thank all the comunity and return the favor again.
Buddhist sympathizer. Peace of mind. I try as often as I can to work as volunteer on a buddhist temple.
Overland enthusiastic, currently following my dreams.
I love travelling to the less known places with touristic potential. I have a project called Discover Brasil, that's in stand-by. This is the Facebook page:

I love discovering new places, walking and having some good conversation. Still I like helping to keep the place organized and clean.
I always found it easier making older friends. I can handle myself pretty well and I enjoy learning about the places and people I visit. I'll certainly help you, my host, with anything needed in your house. I'm aware Couchsurfing is not just about a free couch to sleep.
I love adventure and planning my trips (and putting both together).
