About Me 🌍

Hello! I’m Marcela, an Italo-Brazilian citizen, global soul, and wellness consultant currently expanding my work between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

I believe the world is our home and that meaningful encounters are never random.
I work as a holistic coach and facilitator, supporting women (and mixed groups) through embodiment-based practices such as Therapeutic Theatre, Family Constellations, mindfulness, and emotional awareness.

My work is grounded, experiential, and human, focused on helping people reconnect with themselves, develop emotional intelligence, and move through life with more clarity and self-trust.

I’m the founder of z95 Art Home, a traveling holistic concept that merges art, self-inquiry, and community experiences. Rather than a fixed place, it’s a philosophy that moves with me, adapting to different cultures and communities around the world.

Alongside this, I’m a Tarot reader and educational researcher, deeply interested in the intersection between arts, philosophy, psychology, and personal development. I love conversations that go beyond the surface and invite reflection, curiosity, and presence.

My Story as a Traveler ✨

My journey with travel began in 2016 during an exchange semester in Jaén, Spain, an experience that completely reshaped my relationship with the world and with myself.

After graduating, I backpacked through Europe for ten weeks, which awakened my nomadic spirit. In 2018, I moved to Rome, where I lived immersed in history, beauty, and cultural depth. In 2019, after walking the Camino de Santiago, I consciously chose a more nomadic life, one guided by intuition, learning, and meaningful connections.

Since 2020, Barcelona has been my main base, a place that deeply shaped my creative and professional path.

Currently, my journey is expanding toward Dubai, where I’m developing my Wellness Consultancy and collaborating with international communities. My travels also take me regularly through Italy, Turkey, Thailand, and Bali, where I connect with people interested in growth, embodiment, and conscious living.

My Philosophy 🌱

I believe travel is one of the most powerful teachers.

It humbles us, opens us, and reminds us that every person we meet carries a piece of wisdom we don’t yet have.

Some values I live by:

• Life is a gift, and presence is the greatest currency
• What you give with integrity always returns in another form
• Growth happens when curiosity replaces judgment
• True connection starts with being at home within yourself

For me, traveling is not about collecting places, it’s about learning how to meet life with openness.

Couchsurfing & Hosting Values 🤍

As a guest, I’m respectful, independent, and collaborative. I’m happy to buy my own food, help around the house, and contribute energetically to the space I’m welcomed into.

As a host, I value mutual respect, clear communication, and a shared understanding of Couchsurfing as a cultural exchange, not a transaction. I appreciate homes that feel safe, conscious, and kind, and I offer the same in return.

Final Note 🌟

I’m always happy to connect, whether it’s to exchange stories, share perspectives, collaborate creatively, or simply enjoy a meaningful conversation over tea.

If you’re curious about my work, my travels, or just feel aligned with my energy, feel free to reach out.

Keep it simple. Stay open. Trust the journey.

Nice to meet you,

Marcela

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I belive the world can be better and should be better and Couchsurfing is a very good way of practising this philosophy.

I am interested in learning new cultures and meeting open-minded-respectful people. Sharing good ideas with the world and becoming a better person every possible day.
