About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"My current mission is to combine my passion for travel with my desire to help and connect people from different cultures"

ABOUT ME

"Hello! I am a person passionate about exploring new places and meeting people from different cultures. As an avid traveller, I am constantly looking for new adventures and opportunities to expand my understanding of the world.

Also, I have a strong passion for helping others and sharing my home with travelers from all over the world. I believe that personal connection is the foundation for a better world and through couchsurfing and other hospitality experiences I have been able to create lasting bonds with people from different backgrounds and countries.
I am always open to new connections and collaboration opportunities. Let's talk and explore ways we can work together to achieve our goals!"

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe that every individual has the potential to make a positive impact in the world. It's up to each of us to identify our unique talents and use them to contribute to the greater good.

I also believe in the power of empathy and compassion. By understanding and valuing different perspectives, we can build stronger connections and create a more inclusive and just society.

Finally, I believe that personal growth and learning should be lifelong pursuits. There is always room for improvement, and by challenging ourselves to continually grow and evolve, we can lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Through couchsurfing I strive to host travelers from all over the world in my home, share my culture and learn from them. When I am traveling also I look for opportunities to stay in local homes and experience certification from different destinations. My goal is to promote understanding and mutual respect between people, while enjoying the beauty and diversity of the world."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everywhere I've been I was very welcome. Everyone experience with the CS people and all the place around the world that I´d been was unique. I met dozens of peoples able to open their house, share their family, friends, city, and this it's what make me happy and excited to retribute the same when the people are hosted by me.

Interests

I'm a very curious person and I love exploring new horizons and learning new things. Some of my interests include watching documentaries that help me expand my understanding of the world and different cultures, as well as being interested in topics such as religion, politics, exoterism and gastronomy. I actively seek out opportunities to explore diverse belief systems and philosophies and sure there is a lot to learn from diverse traditions around the world. I am always open to enriching conversations and exchange of knowledge on these topics. Traveling is another great passion of mine, especially to discover new cuisines and try typical dishes from different countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide range of favorite music, movies, and books. In terms of music, I love listening to a variety of genres, from classic, forró, funk to indie and electronic music.

When it comes to movies, I enjoy both classic films and modern suspense releases. I also love exploring foreign cinema and independent films, as they often provide a unique perspective and style.

As for books, I enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction, with a particular interest in science fiction, historical fiction, and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the incredible experience of cooking marshmallows at the edge of a volcano in Guatemala.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy sharing knowledge and learning new things from other people. Although I don't consider myself an expert in a specific field, I am always open to teach something I know that may be useful to others. Additionally, I love learning from people around me, whether it's about their interests, culture, or skills. I believe we can learn a lot from each other and that sharing knowledge is one of the most important things we can do to improve ourselves and society in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me offer you a cozy room with fresh sheets and towels to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I also have some insider knowledge about the local area and can recommend some hidden gems that only locals know about.
As your host, I would love to share some experiences with you, such as exploring the city's landmarks, visiting museums or art galleries, or trying out some local restaurants. If you're interested, I can even show you how to cook some traditional dishes and share a drink or two while we chat about our travels.
If you have any specific plans or interests during your stay, let me know and I'll do my best to help you make the most of your time here. Whether it's hiking, shopping, or simply relaxing, I'm here to ensure that your stay is memorable and enjoyable.
