About Me

One of those people with really weird storylines. Brazilian born that holds 3 nationalities (German, Brazilian and Portuguese) with an average of 1,5 years per place before moving somewhere else due to the family's work.

Living in China for a while for my education (lovely place). I've got the travel bug and since then I didn't stop going somewhere else to see, experience and eat something new.

My hobbies are as random as my musical taste. I'd like to say that I'm the result of the environment(s) I was raised at.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day daddy said "we are alive only because of mankind's complexity, depth and variety". I was out of cash and since then I'm on my journey to get to know the mankind surfing couches.

Interests

Traveling, photography, kayaking and studying (national and international politics).

I'm pretty much in love with China.

Music, Movies, and Books

One word, multiple feelings: Tarantino

My musical taste is very broad - Hindi Zahra to Kendrick Lamar, Villa Lobos to Weezer, Orishas to Buena Vista Social Club and there it goes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved 12 times in 21 years.

Lived in the Amazon for 3 years (more specifically in the border with Bolivia)

Hiked in the Taklamakan Desert and crossed the Khunjerab Pass from China to Pakistan

Scuba dived in three continents in two weeks (Australia, Belize and Spain)

Teach, Learn, Share

To share stories and to learn more about places, people and their environments is a life infinite goal

I will always do the dishes if you'll let me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A backpack full of experiences of a not that big lifetime and a brain eager to know more and more.

My cooking skills are still under development (:
