About Me

I am an open mind and curious person genuinely interested in learning new things and meeting people.

I am an energetic but also an easy-going person.

I love to live in the present moment and I would love to meet people that feel the same way.

Being a decent human being matters to me. I believe that our actions and the energy we emanate to the universe are what will be around us. I always prefer to see life from a positive perspective, which doesn’t mean fake positiveness.

I have been an entrepreneur almost my whole life in the tech world, which made me get tired of the startup scene and the non-sense capitalism. At the moment, I am transitioning to a more purposeful career. I am creating a design and innovation consultancy for problems that matter. In September I am starting a master in Barcelona - Strategic Design in Complexity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

{couchsurfing is not tinder!}
Couchsurfing is about making new friends, having new experiences, and getting to know other cultures.

For me, it is not just about the free couch! Of course, I can't deny that my savings are happy about it. haha

When I stay at someone's house, I would love to hang out, go out and have a good time together :)
(if you have time and want to, of course!)

I love to travel like a local. This way is much more fun than just being a tourist somewhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't think I have ever had favorites things.

Indie Rock/Pop, House (...) I am eclectic but probably that is what I listen to the most

I normally watch movies when I go to a theater. At home, I like to watch tv shows.
Last ones: Fleabag, Girls, Sex education, You, Bridgerton, Feel Good, Modern Love, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel, Maid, Crashing, Friends, How I met your mother (...)

Besides technical books, I always read something that is in the New York Times Bestsellers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not sure what could be hahaha
But I am always open to share what I know.

And brigadeiro, of course. A typical Brazilian dessert.
