About Me

Traveling around the world for some time now.
Every place I go, I leave an artwork, every city I've been has a little piece of me :)
Left a well-established carrer in advertising to follow the dream of painting and traveling. Best choice ever! Also I have a beautiful project called Aurora de Estrelas in my hometown, we bring art and education for people in homelessness. Studying masters in painting at Universidade de Lisboa for one year now. I love to understand how to heal social and historical damage through public art .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an artist, that exposes me to different ways of thinking. Being a foreigner most of the time makes you find home inside.
I am also musician and sculptor, love to meet different world views.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paintings all around the world! I also maintain a project to work together with people in social danger, homeless and drug abusing. So far, we painted together with more than 120 people. It's been a great learning experience!
