I’m Brazilian-American, raised between the US and Brazil, with Spanish roots that shaped much of my upbringing.

Curious by nature, I’ve always been drawn to different cultures and ways of living. I studied international relations and political science, and now work in a humanitarian mission in Somalia.

I love interacting with locals and seeking out non-touristic experiences wherever I go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like visiting places through the eyes of locals

I mostly use the platform for the hangouts so that I get to meet and share experiences with local couchsurfers
