About Me

Half Brazilian, half Italian jack of all trades. Inquisitive, irreverent, hungry for knowledge and joyrider globetrotter. I've learned to feed my critical spirit, get-up-and-do-it, laugh when I'm not supposed to - and always, always - explore the layers in-between.

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve and too short for those who rejoice." Henry van Dyke

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Breaking up the routine and traveling whenever I can... And course, opening my door to CSurfers in Brazil! I'm looking forward to hosting interesting people and as soon as I have a break - hit the road again, Jack!

Interests

Music, cinema, literature, Muay Thai, immersing myself in different cultures and languages.

Getting together with fine friends - and above all - cultivate my own league of fellowships, friends, professional contacts and acquaintances around the globe!
