I was born and raised in Manaus, Brazil, and I'm currently working as a college professor in Chicago, USA. I've always been passionate about languages and foreign cultures and I'm glad I've been able to build a career out of it.

When I'm not on campus or reading something at home I like to go out for a drink with my friends, go to the movies, go out dancing and exploring the city.

Because of the pandemic I've forgotten how amazing traveling is but now I'm ready to pick up where I left off, attend Couchsurfing meet-ups again and grab my backpack. Maybe I'll finally level up from my intermediate French as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love practicing languages, sharing travel stories and the community's open-mindedness.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Latin America's incredible diversity in music and I have a soft spot for 2000s indie rock as well. As for movies, I'm always down for anything Latin American, European, Japanese, horror and A24. When it comes to books, everything ever written between Mexico and Argentina.
