My CS experience has been amazing so far, I hosted several surfers at my place, met many on the road as well and made friends I will carry for life! - I have surfed in 6 countries and met people in over 20 countries. - I have hosted in Budapest, Hungary between 2010-2018. - I have hosted/surfed in Abidjan, Ivory Cost in 2016. - I began to host in Porto, Portugal in 2019. - Through CS alone, I have met/hosted over 100 people all together.

I had never been out of Brazil, spoken different languages or even met a foreigner until I turned 18 and first hit the road - Here are some of the highlights ever since: 2009 - I moved to the UK and a whole new world of travels opened up. 2016 - Lived and wandered around West Africa for a few months and learnt French. 2018 - Joined the Budapest-Bamako Rally and crossed the Sahara.

Thanks to my Italian grandpa! ^^ A decade flew by in the blink of an eye - been to 40+ countries, learnt 6 languages and for now, I lay down my hat in Portugal and travel often to Africa ;-)
