I was born in Brazil, in a city called Cândido Mota, 400 km from São Paulo. When I was 3 years old, I moved with my family to Mato Grosso, in the Amazon Rainforest region, where I have lived most of my life until today.

--------

At the age of 18, I moved to the state capital where I worked for 4 years as a real estate agent and even had my own real estate agency.

-----

In 2017, business wasn't so good, so I decided to take a chance on the world and hitchhiked from Brazil to Alaska. It was more than 100,000 kilometers of history through 22 countries.

--------

In 2020 I returned to Brazil because of the coronavirus. A lot of things happened, I started a company selling natural products from the Amazon, it was something very exciting for me. But I ended up pausing the venture to participate in a solar energy project with 8 crazy engineers in Florianópolis, in the south of Brazil.

--------

At the end of 2023, I had a "burnout" and at the beginning of 2024 I did a meditation retreat called "Vipassana" which was 10 days of silence, where I decided to go to Uruguay to study medicine. I didn't study much so I didn't do well. 😂 But I wrote a lot of poems during classes, so I think it was worth it...

🌱 I've been a vegetarian ever since February 2024

NOW ❤️

In October 2024 I started a trip around the world, hitchhiking, this trip is a break to think about life, I will be happy to meet you and learn more about you too, it fascinates me to see the way of life of people around the world.

I love the philosophy of couchsurfing, having a comfortable home to welcome travelers is one of my current dreams, thank you for so much!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

IT'S A BIG FAMILY
I've been on Couchsurfing a short time and I've discovered that it's the best thing in the world for those who like to travel alone, I like to take part in meetings and exchange experiences with people and make new friends

Estou no Couchsurfing a pouco tempo e já descobri que é melhor coisa do mundo para quem gosta de viajar sozinho, gosto de participar dos encontros e trocar experiências com as pessoas e fazer novos amigos.
