Hey there, dear fellow adventurer! How are you doing? So, after graduating, I spent three years working in Brazil living a very standard life. I had a good salary, a lot of work, and was professionally fulfilled, but deep down I knew I was mostly unhappy and neglecting many other important aspects of my life. Eventually, I decided to quit my job and say "see you soon" to my family and friends to embark on a life-changing adventure. I returned to Europe to pursue a master's degree and to rebuild both my personal and professional life here. Now, I'm focused on taking better care of my spirit and soul, studying, and doing what I love the most in life: traveling, meeting people, and hearing great stories. It's so nice to meet you! How about we grab some coffee, beer, or wine and chat about the endless wonders of life? I hope to see you soon!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I returned to Couchsurfing after my first experience in Europe (2017/2018) because, for me, it was the best way to meet locals and experience things beyond just the standard tourist attractions. I have many great memories of the trips I took while couchsurfing. Now, I'm back to create even more wonderful memories and to share many happy moments with people from all around the world!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
