About Me

ABOUT ME

Like many Couchsurfers, traveling is one of my biggest passions. I love meeting new people, making friends, sharing experiences, and discovering new places.

I'm a veterinarian by training, but my true passion is science. I completed a master’s in Neuroscience in Brazil in 2014.

In 2017, I became a Thai Massage Therapist, and nowadays, I devote my energy to plant medicine work and other tools for consciousness and healing.

You can learn more about this on my website: www.cuerpouniverso.com

On the side, I host a free storytelling event in Lisbon, where we gather once a month to share personal stories. In 2024, we launched the What Lingers Podcast, where we dive deeper into those stories and the lives of the storytellers.

I also love learning new languages, trying different foods (I love to eat!), and wandering through cities.

I don’t follow any specific religion—I believe in love as the energy that moves the universe. All you need is love, and the more you give, the more you receive.

PHILOSOPHY
You give a little love and it all comes back to you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years ago a friend introduced me to Brian (my first CS) he was from San Francisco and he was traveling around Colombia; we met in Bogotá and had so much fun. It was a really pleasant experience to met him, so I kept doing it.
