Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION: To film as many places as it takes to create and share amusing videos for design (and travel) lovers.
I am Brazilian - new by here in Couchsurfing and loving it so far. I enjoy meeting people from anywhere, everywhere. I love talking about philosophy, quantum science and the Universe (in a NEVER boring way). I’m in my late 20s and realized that telling you about my crazy life experiences might help us have some fun.
PLEASE NOTE: I’m traveling with my wife. We 2 work remotely on the internet and - fortunately - we spend a significant part of our days working on the computer or outside creating content, mostly videos. AND… Yeah, we would love to have you among us if you want to. (:
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I first started traveling I had not heard much about Couchsurfing.
Nowadays I know that it's a community for travelers. But at first, They told me it was just for free lodgings... Actually, I was not much interested in that. I didn't want to offer my organs to the Black Market that easy. Fortunately, I discovered - with my foot already on the road - that there are many people in CS who are similar to me: people who love to travel, exchange experiences and who prefer to make our world a better place than it was when we arrived. Exactly my vibe!
Besides, I do not know exactly why I feel very good about participating in activities with other people. And in Couchsurfing, I find this more easily. From volunteer activities to workshops I can help with what I know how to do - and even with what I do not know.
Another very important aspect for me is meeting design students, teachers, and agencies. If you've read the ABOUT ME section above, you've already noticed that I'm traveling to create unique content, so my goal is to exchange experiences with local people - because they can only introduce me to places not easily found on travel blogs - like that cool little bar not so frequented by tourists where I can discover, maybe ... the best art gallery in the city. And then create videos about it.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is a hard choice. My mind says Classical. My heart says Electronic.
Since I read a lot, my favourite book is regularly that one I'm reading at the moment. BUT... I love strategy and can say that a Master Collection must have 'Mastery' by Robert Greene; 'Design to Grow' by David Butler and Linda Tischler and, of course, 'Art of War' by Sun-Tzu.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I'm a branding expert. I'll start an online design program soon, so I can stay all day revealing 'hidden techniques' to improve your ideas - even if they're just sketches. And you don't need to be a designer to get it off the paper.
Learn: If you're a successful blogger, vlogger or creator of any kind - and can teach me how I can improve my strategies as Creator - I'll certainly become a tremendous follower of yours.
Share: C'mon... We live on the same planet. There is something we aren't already sharing?
What I Can Share with Hosts
1. Want to create something stunning?
I'm a good designer. I've done brands, creations and art direction for many brands in Brazil and abroad - including major brands. And if you want some help with your business, count on me.

2. Restaurant food without leaving home!
I always loved to cook. However only after my younger brother graduated as Chef - and I got several techniques from him - I can say that I'vee become a cook that is worth a try.

3. I do lots of minor repairs wherever I go.
From swapping a sanitary discharge and repairing furniture to electrical installations or sewing clothes (something I've learned in the military). Are you having a bulb that is not turning on or a broken piece of furniture? I can help put everything in place. And the best: it will be a pleasure!
