Brazilian, history student (sometimes), full-time traveler of winding roads and wild ideas! I’ve hitchhiked across countries, biked up mountains and, lately, I swapped the bike for a tiny Renault Twingo to drive from Barcelona to Mongolia — because why not learn to drive in my 30s? Yoga keeps me grounded, DIY keeps me busy, and secondhand markets? My natural habitat. I love slow travel, vegetarian food, and long talks about the world and its weirdness. If you’ve got a place to share and a story to tell, I’d love to hear it :)
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Beer
Fluent in English
Learning Catalan, Valencian
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because it’s simply the best website/idea I ever heard - best why to be against the system and meet good people.
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Brazilian music, mostly! I would love to share with you some playlist if you’d like! Books: Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Guimarães Rosa.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
• Crossed Uruguay by bicycle • Hitchhiked across the Turkey–Greece border in a truck • Traveled for a whole month in Turkey using only Couchsurfing • Wild camped for over 30 days in Chapada dos Veadeiros • Hitchhiked 2,000 km from São Paulo to Chapada Diamantina with a friend • Learned how to repair my own bike (yes, we can do it!) • Jumped into a lake after a sauna in Finland — pure magic • Bikepacked solo from Barcelona to Skopje (3,000+ km!) • Rode through Patagonia by bike… and ended up stuck in Chile for two years • Drove my little Twingo from Barcelona to Mongolia — 20,000 km in 100 days
