"I dedicate this work to all of those who ever tried to understand reality and failed. They are on the right path." Me, 2015

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
Albert Einstein

2018 | After 4 months of hitchhiking adventures in South America and another 4 months exploring Asia with my now wife I finally bankrupted. We documented some of it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLf2B9oLSLqd0MioMprv66g

After that I settled down (a little) got a job, started a career, survived a Pandemic and lived in Senegal for a year.

Right now I'm in United States, but I have to go to Korea soon for my wedding next month!

Before that I would like to experience the CouchSurfing life again in San Francisco, it's been years!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I loved it even before I heard of it. After I started doing it I collected some nice memories like:

Learning how to cook mexican food from a dutch wannabe chef in Groningen;

Watched a meteor shower in lovely capital of the Black Forest with my guests;

Drinking a beer in a cold night in front of the Dome Santa Maria del Fiori;

Baking an apple pie with bad apples from a random park in Moskow;

Lived for 5 days in the coolest apartment in San Francisco!

Felt like family by an amazing Irish/Dutch family in Tuam;

Moved a fridge that we found on the streets in Toulouse;

Making a bonfire under northern lights in Tromsø;

Jumping into a freezing lake in Helsinki;

Hosting people in Freiburg;

Poker night in Vilnius;

I just like learning in general, I have fun learning new things and recently felt overjoyed while remembering key concepts of organic chemistry!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really appreciate old stuff, if it passed the test of time I thing is wise to give it a try.

If you've seen Blues Brothers we can laugh together.
Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting blowed my mind (outdated).
Parasite really blowed my mind!

Now I'm trying to read all the worlds oldest books more or less in chronological order but on the Western school (not ready for Eastern yet). I already did the Iliad and the Odyssey, some Plato and Aristotles, Marcus Aurelius and now I'm powering through the Bible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked: a Truck in the middle of the Arctic in Winter, a boat (in Brasil and Switzerland) and a Porsche

Hitchhiked from my house in São Paulo all the way to Ushuaia (the southernmost point in America).

Carolus Thermen in Aachen

Castle in Heidelberg

Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage

Teach, Learn, Share

I mastered an ancient chinese technic to tie shoes and if you make me believe in the purity of your soul I may share it with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Important stuff like food, ideas, hopefully some laughs and music.
