Sharing local experiences with different people, all cultures and backgrounds.
Differences can only be understood once we get in touch with another point of view.

A travel-writer for a Brazilian blog, where I can share my perspectives and motivate more people to travel to many unrated destinations:
I also wrote for Skyscanner Brazil in Portuguese about Japan: https://www.skyscanner.com.br/noticias/estimativa-de-gastos-para-saber-quanto-custa-uma-viagem-para-o-japao

Half Japanese/half Italian, 100% Brazilian, crazy about life, friends, traveling, and the new things still to find out. Passionate about people, above all.

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.” Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am willing to offer part of my time to make your time in Zurich better. This historical and beautiful city can definitely surprise you during your time here.
I have traveled the world a few times, from Australia, to Japan, Europe and South America.
The best experience is always sharing time and knowledge with unexpected people.
