About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know as many people as possible and visit as many places I can. To learn at least one new word in Italian everyday.

ABOUT ME

Even being not so old, I can say I have a good experience living abroad. I've worked as a travel guide in the last 2 World Cups (Germany and South Africa) and I've travelled as a backpacker to Europe for more than 3 months.

Unfortunately, back then I didn't had the chance to enjoy CouchSurfing's opportunity at its best. But now I'm back in my home town and looking forward to host Surfers and continue to travel till the 6 continents are visited.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop learning, your mind only works when opened.

I'm currently in college in São Paulo. I'm studying business administration at Fundacao Getulio Vargas, to be completed in 2015. I play basketball with my friends and on FGV's team.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment when I realized I was not fit to work in a regular office was touching. I had just returned from one month living in Cape Town and I had to face more than a year working in a cubicule to pay my bills. I then made the most important decision in my life: I'd leave my job and come back to live with my parents, and finally go to college.

Another lifetime moment was when we won the State Basketball Tournament, played by the best Business Schools in São Paulo. It's useless to try to describe the feeling, when you see the crowd cheering for you and yelling your name.

It's my major motivation for keep practicing and moving on!
