About Me

*our blog: www.doispelomundo.com.br*

Me and Tiago are together for 13 years and at some point we decided to give a break to explore the world and who knows, find other way of living.

Before that, Tiago used to work with advertisement and I with social media. This life fill us out for many years, we got our apartment, our dog (a lovely French bulldog), been in many shows, met different places, saw many movies ... But the life in a big city can be tuff sometimes with so many work to do, commitments and schedules, so we figured that we needed a refresh.

Now we're on the road since nov/14 and is being awesome and a huge knowledge for us as person and as a couple. Tiago got his Italian citizenship, is improving his passions on movies and photo and is also learning italian. I've been used this opportunity to absorb some cooking cultures, improve my English and Spanish also to develop my spiritual side.

We still have fill months ahead and many plans when we finish this trip, maybe open a hostel, maybe live sometime in Barcelona, maybe have children... But we never wanna stop learning and meet people and places to make us feel alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mailing because we want to meet local people trough the world, to help us to absorb local culture and knowledges. We've been stayed specially in hostels -what is cool - but sometimes is hard to feel the local flavor at this places.
And it also will helps us to make some economy, as we're trailing in a budget.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This round world trip! All of our experiences are posted on a blog doispelomundo.com.br

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching Portuguese in a collaborative platform and, in exchange, improving my English. This period in Latin America is also helping us to learn Spanish, which is being great! We couldn't expected that would be so rich.
