Exploring new cultures has always been one of my greatest passions. As a Marketing Professional and Web Developer, I’m drawn to the rich tapestry of global experiences that shape who we are. From an early age, I’ve been deeply curious about different cultures and far-off places. Over the years, I’ve made it a priority to build meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. Music is another cornerstone of my journey. In 2014, I was honored to be nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in the category of Singer of the Year. I love engaging in thought-provoking conversations, promoting well-being, and connecting with others. Ultimately, my greatest aspiration is to live in a world free of racism—where everyone works together to make it a better place. Please don’t be discouraged by my response rate—I simply prefer to engage with those who take the time to read my profile. PHILOSOPHY Living life to the fullest.

Hakuna Matata! I like cycling, know new places, meet new people and exchange culture. I talk about movies, music, photography and random stuff.

Also I know that Couchsurfing is not tinder. PHILOSOPHY Worry less, live with more quality. I believe that life is good. And doing the right efforts, can be better.

Um cara simples e bem-humorado. Gosto de viajar, beber e aprender coisas novas. A simple and humorous guy. I like to travel, drink and learn new things.
