Not sure you WANNA MEET UP? Check my references - My friends will surely write about me better than I ever would

REQUESTING A COUCH? Be sure you read my profile and all the info/rules about my flat which can be found under the "HOME" tab.

Friendly note :: If you are a beginner on CS, i suggest you read 'How to write a CouchRequest' - http://wiki.trustroots.org/en/How_to_write_a_hosting_request - The amount of people who misunderstand what couchsurfing is all about disturbs me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS experience has been amazing so far, I hosted several surfers at my place, met many on the road as well and made friends I will carry for life!

- I have surfed in 6 countries and met people in over 18 countries.
- I have hosted in Budapest, Hungary between 2010-2018.
- I have hosted/surfed in Abidjan, Ivory Cost in 2016.
- I began to host in Porto, Portugal in 2019.
- Through CS alone, I have met/hosted over 100 people all together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had never been out of Brazil, spoken different languages or even met a foreigner until I turned 18 and first hit the road - Here are some of the highlights ever since:

2009 - I moved to the UK and a whole new world of travels opened up.

2016 - Lived and wandered around West Africa for a few months and learnt French.

2018 - Joined the Budapest-Bamako Rally and crossed the Sahara. See my Budapest-Gambia route:

2020 - Survived 70+ days of lockdown during the covid-19 pandemic in Italy and celebrated my 11th year in Europe as an EU citizen for the first time. Thanks to my Italian grandpa! ^^

A decade flew by in the blink of an eye - been to 40+ countries, learnt 6 languages and for now, I lay down my hat in Portugal and travel often to Africa ;-)
