About Me

Very important 👉🏻👉🏻Before send me a request read all my profile! Um Brazilian now living on a sailboat in Barcelona. I am curious about life, I love meeting new people, talking about everything, walking, drinking a beer. I am optimistic and I believe that life is a great trip. That's why I make my life a trip! I'm addicted to traveling and graduated in performing arts. I lived in São Paulo and gave motivational talks throughout Brazil. I began working as an actor and theater director, working with some of the great names from Brazilian and Latin American theater. That's where I developed the taste for being on the road; I visited about 20 countries on tour. I became addicted to traveling and I never stopped. Among the adventures on my curriculum is sailing along the Brazilian coast in a sailboat. I am a curious person, I love to know new cultures, trying to understand the human mind. Many consider me crazy. I learned that life is NOW, that we should live as intensely as possible and try to enjoy what life can offer us. I don't mean material things but experiences and these are things that money can't buy! My last trip:

A car, a social cause, a lot of courage and a lot of adventures to experience; I decided to drop everything and explore the world by car. I decided on facing the challenge of going around the world in four years; covering over a hundred thousand miles, visiting more than sixty countries. This trip will be a new discovery for me. OBJECTIVES: Get to know new cultures, record the trip in photos, videos, diaries and write a book about my adventure. If you read my profile send me the Word “abracadabra” in your request. Travel around the world in four years, visiting more than sixty countries, passing through five continents, all in one automobile. SOCIAL WORK: The cases of young people who drop everything and decide to go around the world are not such a rare case these days as taking a sabbatical is already a mark of this new generation. But I decided to go much further and do some good with my road trip The difference here is the social work involved. I am an ambassador for the global Hepatitis Zero project, a program planned by the Brazilian Association of Hepatitis Patients (ABPH) and the Rotary Club. The proposal is both to spread awareness and educate people about Hepatitis C, to diagnose those who have the hepatitis virus, to provide clinical and psychological support to these and to offer treatment opportunities to all victims of the disease. Throughout the trip as well as carrying information about the prevention, promoting the rapid testing program, giving advice on treatment and how to proceed if the disease is present, I will also be creating new ambassadors to continue the project in the Rotary Clubs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is an awesome way to meet new people and I love the idea of supporting our global community.\ would love to meet anyone traveling through where I am as well as meet locals when I travel to meet more people and gain new perspectives.
