CURRENT MISSION Cross the boundaries of human experience ABOUT ME I am a very positive, sociable and open-minded person. I live in London and am attempting to carve a place for me in Social Impact and Enterpreneurship involving Latin people living here. In previous lives, I was a corporate lawyer in the City, an UNHCR volunteer in Africa and a student union leader in my home state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am laid-back but responsible and absolutely mad about getting to know new cultures, cuisine, music and making new friends. It doesn't take much to please me, some good talk with a can of beer is enough. Used to be into skate and surfing, but too cold and windy for that in England :). PHILOSOPHY Johnny Walker's keep on moving, even though I prefer Jack Daniels.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Had the best time of my life couchsurfing in Europe for 3 months not long after moving into the old continent. It shows that despite all the talk of building walls (YES - that's for Drump) to separate people there is still some hope.
Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Backpacking in Farc Guerilla areas between Venezuela and Colombia with my mum. Making a hotel out of a car parked in a public square while in Portugal for two days. Being stopped by the Basque Anti-terrorist police while stupidly going round a round-about for many times in front of the Basque police dep. while waiting for a friend to come pick me up.
