About Me

Well, as you can guess through my name, I am definitely someone from the sea!
I grew up initially in Brazil, with a Brazilian dad and a French mom, then we left and traveled around the world in a sailing boat for 7 years.
I ended up living in New-Caledonia for a few years and the past 7 years in Montréal, Canada.

So we can say that travelling and meeting up new people and their culture is really in my genes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was raised in a family where we would travel aiming to spend most time abroad with the locals, in their houses, living and adapting to their habits. No big hotels, no big touristic activities.

To me couchsurfing is traveling and most of all meeting new people and learning new cultures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drop everything , pack and leave: I had an amazing job, full of projects and resposabilities, nice apartment, nice car, tons of amazing friends... From one day to the other I decided to flip the page of my 7 years-story in Canada, drop everything and just leave for another chapter to be written!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Brazilian dances, and dance class for children..
I happily share my experience as an agronomist, about food system, sustainable agriculture...
I would learn pretty much anything from the moment it catches my interest!

What I Can Share with Hosts

You will definitely be in for discussions about sailboats, round the world adventures and epic fishing stories!
Sharing a good meal with drinks and good music will also be in the menu!
