About Me

Hello you! I'm a world trotter photographer, getting opportunities to work while visit new places with WorldPackers (online platform to volunteer work in exchange of a bed and alimentation) and this is the way im traveling at the last 3 months.

I was working in Brasil as a fashion photographer for a big retail brand but i quit and since then im traveling around Europe. My plan is move to Spain in January of 2022 to apply for a master in fashion photography and art direction.

My motivation to travel is the photography. I'm very curious to get involved in different cultures, to see how time goes by in places I don't know yet. I have the photography as a tool that brings me closer to those new universes and times. I want to explore this, being able to help other people with my work and my knowledge as well.

I have been traveling with only a backpack and my photography case. I am very organized with my space, I try to help organize the house and contribute to cleaning. Not as a counterpart to hosting, but because I prefer to live in an organized environment. As a counterpart I'll offer you a bottle of wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a person who feels very fulfilled when I can help other people, I have this feeling as a very strong characteristic of me. That's why I believe that Couchsurfing and Worldpackers has a lot of connection with my personality and my way of being. This is the first time I've actually been using the platform and I'm really excited to be able to meet new people and someday give back in the same way.

Interests

at this current moment, I'm very interested in getting to know the places and observing the local culture. Go to local and traditional bars and restaurants, see a local show, photograph and interact with the local culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year, during the pandemic, I and other fellow photographers got together to put into practice a social project that, through the sale of photographs, helped thousands of families in poverty in my city, due to the worsening crisis caused by COVID- 19. The project is called POA150FOTOS and raised approximately 15 thousand dollars in donation. I am proud of this social work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides being a photographer, I'm a great cook. Truth. And my spotify playlist has some of the coolest songs you'll ever hear.
