Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More than visiting a new place, I believe traveling is about meeting locals, and getting to know spots you wouldn't find in a guide book.

I love any kind of platform that facilitate sharing and that foster community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- The bike trip I made thought Nederlands, the best way to experience the country.

- The two times I had to sleep on the streets. Once in Brazil and the other during my bike trip (a fucking cold night!).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some Brazilian dishes, and talk about Brazilian culture in general.

I can share my basic knowledge on piano, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, capoeira and cinema.

I'm very curious about everything! But wanna do more filmmaking and music.
