Everyday trying to be as open-hearted and open-minded as I can. I'm a college student and I work with video production. I consider myself a very loving person, so as much as I enjoy my own company, I love to be surrounded by friends and the stories they have to tell. Getting to know other cultures and worldviews is something I value a lot. I'm totally against any form of sexist, racist, homophobic or xenophobic discourse.

Astounded by nature, by people, and by every change of path they provide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I realized that human interaction sticks on my mind more than anything while travelling. A mere 5 minute conversation with someone from a different culture is something I value a lot. Couchsurfing allows me to begin my exploration of the infinite vastness of wisdom that hides outside of the nest. Also, taking my time, taking refuge in the roads.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always very glad to talk about Brazilian culture, a rabbit hole of diverse rhythms, expressions, identities and lines of thought. Music is also a big part of my life and I love sharing music content with people. I can also help with video editing and photography. As for learning, there's no way to classify it: every kind of learning is welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good company, a good listener, some good cooking and if there's a guitar in the house, maybe some songs :)
