About Me

Current mission: planning my next trip. =)

I'm a guy who loves to travel and would know the whole world if I could. Wait, I'm gonna know the whole world! =p

Family and friends are the most important for me, my priority. They are part of me.

Proud of being from Northeast Brazil. No mongrel complex here.

Learning languages is one of my passions. I fell always good when talking in Spanish, can survive with my average English and look a bit weird with my Swedish.
I really like to discover new foods and cultures.

Open-minded with open-minded people. Talkative. Sometimes I should just hush a little. ^^
Antifascist and antiracist, always trying to be aware, alert and conscious about the daily microracisms, and trying to do my best.
Feminist-ally and straight-friendly (except if you are homophobic, transphobic etc).
Ultimately, trying to be realistic about human being and the world, connecting with different personalities, but with same principles. And running away from toxic positivity. oO
So, if you feel like having any kind of prejudice, specially about ethnics, gender or class, being conservative, specially in politics, please let's NOT meet? Haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since after the pandemics, hosting and surfing not so much. But with plans to come back!

I don't mind if my host is busy or for some reason cannot be much time with me during my stay, as I like to be an independent traveller sometimes.

On the other hand, I like to share my time with my guest. It's a cliché, but for me the real spirit of Couchsurfing is sharing and trusting. And this has helped to make me a better person, I guess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've lived great moments through CS since 2012. I met so sweet and unique people that I never expected to, and got surprised with compassion you can find around the world although so many issues at all.
