Hey people! My name is Richard and I am a backpacker and travel blogger trying to cross Latin America. My trip begins on June 5, 2017, I will leave my hometown (Goiânia) and travel 6 thousand kilometers to Ushuaia and then I will follow by land to Mexico, more than 14 thousand kilometers. During the trip I will be recording a web-series on youtube and posting all my stories, challenges and places in instagram @vidademochila. Here we go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is there a better way to know the traditions of each place than through the people who live in it? I hope this community gives me the opportunity to meet incredible people during my journey through Latin America.

Interests

I am a traveler who loves staying in touch with nature! I prefer the small towns, where we can meet people, enjoy a beach, waterfall, trail and do everything on foot. Traveling through Latin America we portray the main traditions of the Latin people through photos, videos and interviews.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled alone hitchhiking through some cities during my backpacking in Mozambique, Swaziland and South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can use my equipment to take good pictures of the places we are going to visit. I can give you travel tips from places I've been to, give directions to new travel bloggers. Assist with video editing, photography and editing. I can teach lectures, give digital marketing tips to local businesses, and counter a lot of stories from my travels around America. I'm not a chef, but I can help in the kitchen too.
