ABOUT ME

Don't believe in what I say about myself. Its best to read the references :P
I'm a curious mind, an enthusiast, passionate about life and all that comes with it.
Grew up in Brazil with a 4 year gap in London from 6 to 10 years old. Such good memories made it my second home.
I love meeting people, getting to know them with their unique stories. I love traveling. I love people's smile and laughter. I love making a difference.

PHILOSOPHY

In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with you.

- Carl Sagan (originally for Annie, his wife)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've always couchsurfed but never knew it had a name...Only few times I stayed in hostels. Usually I made my trip plans based on where I knew someone to stay over.
I think I learned some stuff like respecting the host and cleaning up things and always doing something more than was asked to. It's much more interesting to participate in someone's life in a different place than staying in a cold hostel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I read a lot to choose my hosts and I think that is one reason why it has always been amazing. Only great hosts and guests.

Interests

Love to learn about everything. Even things I don't like...
Like to know about different cultures, languages, wine, sports, B-side things of the world, electronic music, classical music, pop music, food, more wine to go with the food, spices, sunset, trekking, yoga...
But in the end its just about the smile :)
