About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do something incredible.

ABOUT ME

I am a student, a traveler, and a quick friend. I joined CouchSurfing to meet people like me from other countries. I am a deep thinker, a good listener, and a bit different.

I love to explore a city by foot, on a bike, or through conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

We are put on earth a little space that we can learn to bear the beams of love.
-William Blake

Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes
-Maggie Kuhn

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started to really use the site while living in São Paulo in order to make friends. I went to the weekly event and also met some amazing people that walked me around the city. Then I couchsurfed in Rio and met some great people. For a year, I returned the favor and hosted surfers in my dorm at my university. Now I am living and working in Boston and host people when I can.
