About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Make friendship around the world. I have been a member of Couchsurfing since 2008 and was an active member until 2015 when I left Brazil. Before that, I met various people who were visiting my city in the Amazon, with lots of coffee and nights out at bars, and many laughs with the friends I made through Couchsurfing. I had incredible experiences with accommodations throughout Brazil, especially in the South, where they even made barbecue for me. I definitely did great friendships. After that, I used the platform in the United States and Germany, where I still keep in touch with these friends. I even hosted people when I lived in São Paulo (Brazil), and those were always amazing experiences.

I'm returning to the platform now (september 2023), after not using it for 04 years. I left my wonderful country, Brazil, almost 8 years ago for study reasons in Europe, specifically in Ireland, and ended up staying here, where I currently reside near Lisbon, Portugal, but much closer to the beach.

I work in marketing for an Amazon-based company that removes carbon and has a presence in Europe. It's rewarding to work with purpose and at the moment, I really enjoy what I do, as they say, saving the planet haha. I work remotely, and in my free time, I like to go to the beach, rollerblade, run, do CrossFit, play volleyball, watch a good movie, or have long video conversations with family and friends on my phone.

I strongly believe in connections, especially friendships, and value the exchange of experiences. I love talking to people from other countries, other cultures, or even from different regions of Brazil.

I return to Couchsurfing more mature and with many more experiences to share. Today, I know that what's important is to live in peace, with purpose, and to seek moments of happiness to share. That's it. I'm happy and I want to share this with all of you.
