I left my life working in the city in London in January 2016, to move to Brazil and change my life. My goal was to live simply, spend more time in nature, have more free time and work less, surf, and learn a language. It is almost 2020 and i'm still there :)

I like to surf, to cook, and to be in nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Melhor para lamentar o que voce fez, e nao o que voce nao fez.
-Better to regret what you have done, rather than what you have not.

Life comes first. Work less, spend less, live more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn more about different cultures from around the world, eat different foods, and meet interesting people. Different is good.

Quero conhecer lugares mais profundamente do que os pontos turisticos. Quero encontrar amigos novos no mundo, e quero compartilhar coisas e experiencias de minha cultura com pessoas que talvez nao podem viajar no momento.

- I want to get to know places more deeply that the main tourist hotspots. I want to meet new friends all over the world, and I want to share things and experiences from my culture with people that maybe cannot travel right now.

I've couchsurfed in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Jamaica, St Maartin, the British Virgin Islands, France and Norway, and I have hosted in London and Brazil.
