Architect and Urban planner, from Rio de Janeiro.
Worked with urban planning at the favelas in Rio, for 5 years. Then lived in Buenos Aires for a year while during a master in Habitat and Urban Poverty in Latin America to then leave everything to volunteer in a disaster response 5 years ago in Peru.
Ever since then I have been working with the same NGO, but have recently quit to travel for awhile in a "reset moment" of my life and have "bumped" into couch surfing again to find this description of myself that I wrote 5 years ago in this profile:
"I've been trying to find myself in this crazy world we are living, trying to live the now without making any plans an trusting that if I'm doing it with love the path ahead of me is going to be "the right one". Traveling and humanitarian work have been giving me the chance of doing this journey."
I guess it's full circle and I am back here. Trying to find myself. Moved by purpose, love and connection.
