About Me

Hi There! I'm a very open minded Brazilian/Portuguese who wants to discover new cultures and realities, and meet a lot of interesting people on the process.

I graduated in Cinema in 2014, and after that I spent 2 years in Krakow, Poland, working as video editor. Now I'm back to Portugal but I feel that I need more adventure in my life so I want to travel as much as I can.

I'm currently writing a couple of movie scripts and I see the couchsurfing and traveling experience as a opportunity for me to get inspired by people and cities.

I love Cinema, Rock'n roll, food and cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Is much better traveling this way, you can have so much fun and meet fantastic people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I came from a poor brazilian family, so I didn't have big expectations about life... But somehow I finished school and after went to the University, where I graduated in Cinema. I met my ex girlfriend there and decided to go to Krakow, Poland, where she lives. I lived there by myself for 2 years.
I met lot of people and helped to create the video department of the company where I worked when I was living there. The video department is now the biggest one in that company.
I developed my skills and learned much more working in that company than in the university.
So, when I came back to Portugal I started to work as video maker, covering events.
Right now I'm writing movie scripts because I feel that I have finaly capacity to make Cinema, and that's is what I love the most
So, to conclude, I think the most amazig thing that I've done is the one that I'm starting to do right now.
