I am a respectable young man, traveling to expand my mind with careful observation of new lands and cultures. My mother was born and raised in California, as was I. My father was born and raised in Brazil and both my parents have nurtured me with love and virtue to be fully prepared for today's societies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have worked non-stop for three years saving money for an expedition through Europe. I hope to make this journey last as long as possible and to meet the coolest people along the way. The idea that one would offer their home for a night or two might seem crazy, but I think it's brilliant.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I wish to teach the less privileged that there is always a way to materialize a dream. I will never stop learning, for we are never too old to grow. Lastly, knowledge is not necessarily power on its own, but when shared it can be quite powerful.
