Hi! I'm Gabriel!
I'm an easygoing traveler with a love for the outdoors, hiking, and nerding about all things natural history.

Although I’m based in the U.S. now, I grew up in Northeastern Brazil. And being there, I always visited beaches, national parks, wildlife reserves, and spent some quality time in nature. My goal now is doing the same thing wherever I go, taking every opportunity to visit a new state and explore a new region while making new friends on the way.

I love connecting with people, hearing their stories, and sharing experiences. I try my best to be respectful, and I just love when someone's able to provide me with a different perspective on a place — ideally, while sharing a good meal, a walk, or a sunset.

Interests

Most of my interests are somewhat nature-related, but I'm totally in for cultural and gastro agendas. I plan on spending more time abroad, visiting new places for the weekend, and sharing experiences, best if making new friends along the way.
