About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to get to know myself better while I travel around the world.

And I tell stories. I am a journalist, researcher and screenwriter for fiction and non-fiction projects.

ABOUT ME

I do like to share life experiences. Everyone leaves something to others. Talking, listening, learning. The world is too wide to restrict ourselves only in our home, our city or our country. We know ourselves better when we know how others live. I feel myself pretty small when I think about how many other ways of thinking, acting and feeling exist. Sometimes I crazily feel like I would like to get to know each one of them (people... all! I am insane and I know it) . I also believe in God and especially in LOVE.

I gotta say I'm from Bahia, a Brazilian state that has one of the most beautiful and interesting places on planet Earth. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I treat people how I'd like to be treated. Respect first of all - followed by a smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had plenty of experiences been hosted through couchsurfing. All were amazing! The first one was in Frankfurt. I was lucky cause I found someone who gave me a lot of tips about how I could walk and explore the city as much as I could in the time I had. The second time was in Barcelona where I met cool people through the person who hosted me. I got to know the city very well and I am grateful to those who hosted me there too. After that I also couchsurfed in Olhão (Portugal), Brussels (Belgium) and Lisbon (Portugal).

Interests

Landscapes, cultures, music, cinema, journalism, communication, photography, travelling... and more!

Music, Movies, and Books

World Music. I can't say I have a favorite artist or band. But I can say a few that I appreciate. They are Caetano Veloso, Los Hermanos, The Corrs, U2, Gilberto Gil, Marisa Monte, Ivete Sangalo, Kings of Leon... Well, music has no boundaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After have lived in Dublin and Barcelona, I accepted a challenge that crossed my way and left Brazil to go to live in Guangzhou, south of China. It was such an amazing experience making me a bettter human being first of all. Right now I am living in Rio de Janeiro, an exotic and vibrant city.
