About Me

Hey Couchsurfers!

Great to meet you! We're Pri, Rick, and little Zaki — aka the Pandas 🐼. We're 37, 39, and 2.5 years old, respectively. We hail from São Paulo, Brazil, spent several years in Curitiba, and have traveled to countless countries on this amazing, big-small planet of ours.

Our love for travel runs so deep that in 2018, we embarked on a backpacking journey around the world. That adventure stretched over 3 incredible years, filled with unforgettable experiences as we managed our businesses remotely. We've crisscrossed almost every continent, tried nearly every mode of travel, made tons of friends, and created beautiful memories along the way. The absolute highlight? While road-tripping across the USA in a mini camper van, we got pregnant with our little ball of energy, Zaki! He's now 2.5 years old, full of life, and loves to play.

We’re big fans of good music, love cooking up a storm, and enjoy getting out and about with our son. Nature in all its glory is our happy place, whether it's hiking, jogging, or doing yoga outdoors. We also enjoy a good conversation on just about any topic—travel, entrepreneurship, investments, spirituality, business, geopolitics — you name it! Meeting new people, making friends, and learning about different cultures are all things that light us up. In short, we’re into a lot of things, especially those that are genuine and heartfelt.

Right now, we’re based in Pavia, Italy, but come November 2024, we’ll be kicking off a motorhome adventure around Europe that’ll last at least 3 years.

Salve couchsurfers!

Prazer em conhecê-los! Somos a Pri, o Rick e o pequeno Zaki — também conhecidos como os Pandas 🐼. Temos 37, 39 e 2,5 anos, respectivamente. Somos de São Paulo, Brasil, passamos vários anos em Curitiba, e já viajamos para inúmeros países neste nosso pequeno grande planeta.

Nossa paixão por viajar é tão grande que, em 2018, embarcamos em uma jornada de mochilão pelo mundo. Essa aventura durou 3 anos incríveis, cheios de experiências inesquecíveis, enquanto gerenciávamos nossos negócios remotamente. Cruzamos quase todos os continentes, experimentamos quase todos os modos de viagem, fizemos muitos amigos e criamos memórias lindas ao longo do caminho. E o ponto alto? Durante uma road trip pelos EUA em uma mini camper van, engravidamos do nosso pequeno e energético Zaki! Hoje ele tem 2,5 anos, é cheio de vida e adora brincar.

Somos grandes fãs de boa música, amamos cozinhar e gostamos de sair para curtir a vida com nosso filho. Amamos desfrutar da natureza em todas as suas versões, seja fazendo trilhas, correndo ou praticando yoga ao ar livre. Também apreciamos uma boa conversa sobre praticamente qualquer assunto — viagens, empreendedorismo, investimentos, espiritualidade, negócios, geopolítica... Amamos conhecer novas pessoas, fazer amigos e aprender sobre diferentes culturas. Enfim, gostamos de muitas coisas, mas especialmente aquelas que são genuínas e vêm do coração.

Atualmente, estamos morando em Pavia, na Itália, mas em novembro de 2024 vamos começar uma nova aventura de motorhome pela Europa que vai durar pelo menos 3 anos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've been part of this beautiful community for over 7 years. We're here to meet good-hearted people. We love making friends and connecting with people who, like us, see the world in a positive light.

When we travel, we seek local and genuine experiences, and Couchsurfing has given us many opportunities to live this. Besides that, we now also see this community as a way for our son to connect with other cultures, learning to value diversity and see the world beyond his bubble and geographical/cultural/economic biases.

Já fazemos parte desta linda comunidade há mais de 7 anos. Estamos aqui pra conhecer pessoas do bem. Amamos fazer amigos e nos conectar com pessoas que, assim como nós, enxergam o mundo de forma positiva.

Quando viajamos buscamos experiências locais e genuínas e o Couchsurfing é uma comunidade que tem nos dado muitas oportunidades de viver isto. Além disto, agora também vemos esta comunidade como uma forma de permitir que nosso filho se conecte a outras culturas, aprendendo a valorizar a diversidade e enxergar o mundo além de sua bolha e de seus vieses geográfico/cultural/econômico.
