About Me

Hey there!
I'm a 29 years backpacker traveling around the world since March 2024.

After i lived in Tanzania for 3 months, my friend Theresa and I are on our way through Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia to South Africa. After that, i am planning to go back to my second home, Brazil, to meet my host family and friends again.

I love learning everything about other cultures and to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My goal while traveling is more to meet local people instead of doing sightseeing every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My exchange year in Brasil was the best time in my life.

Living with the Maasai in a mud hud in the middle of Tanzania with no running water, cooking my food on the fire, going for a walk with the maasai warriors, getting water with the woman, eating maize with the children was such a good time and i learned a lot from them.

Traveling with the TAZARA Train through Tansania and taking the Ilala Ferry at the Lake Malawi were my greatest adventures i had at my trip so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

While traveling around the world, i teached others card games and also learned new card games.
