About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to be a good person and meet more like that. I love to play music and ride my bike. Do things that help you to enjoy life.

ABOUT ME

I am a musician and traveller. I want to learn about the world and about myself. Friends and family are important to me and treating everyone well. I like to have fun and adventure, but also sometimes to relax. I have spent the last four years studying in Montreal and I hope to travel all over the World. I just spent four months in Europe and now I'm heading to South America.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat yourself and others well. Do what you love. Be open-minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have shared my apartment with travellers and now I am visiting theirs. I try to be hospitable and easy-going. I like to cook you dinner and share recipes or some wine. Mostly I have been a guest so far since I've been travelling a lot since I joined, but I have also hosted whenever I had the chance. I also have gone to quite a few gatherings and meetings and met tons of amazing people that way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I loved couchsurfing in Lisbon, Portugal with my new friend Hugo and also in Barcelona and France. Everyone has been so kind and interesting. It has been a wonderful experience and I hope to have more.
The community in Rio de Janeiro really impressed me with friendliness and welcoming and being helpful. After only a few days I felt like a part of a family there.
