About Me

Hello everyone, how are you? Hope you’re doing well! 😄 🌍🌍🌍

I am an advertising professional, a professional voice actor and voice artist. I am also an actor, with formal training through a theater company, and I have taken part in several theater productions, including performances at the Amazon Theatre. I work as a freelancer, which gives me a flexible routine and time to welcome people, talk, and exchange experiences.

I have a degree in digital graphic design, focused on interface design for media and games, although I am not currently working professionally in this field.

I work as a voice actor and in voice-over for advertising, and my voice can be heard in Portuguese-dubbed productions for platforms such as Prime vídeo, Netflix, HBO, Paramount, and YouTube, as well as on TV channels like Euro Channel, which focuses exclusively on European films. Today, my main professional focus is on the audiovisual field.

I really enjoy good conversations and philosophizing about life, reflecting on what the universe has to offer, and exchanging ideas that go beyond the ordinary. Meeting people from different places and hearing different perspectives is one of the main reasons why I enjoy Couchsurfing so much.

I live in downtown Manaus. Walking, it takes about 25 minutes to reach the Amazon Theatre and approximately 35 minutes to get to the Municipal Market. By motorcycle app, such as Uber, it usually takes only 4 to 5 minutes, which makes getting around the city very easy.

If you enjoy nature, I can recommend affordable tours with reliable local agencies. Depending on the tour, sometimes I can join. Lagoa Azul is a place that is easier for me to go along. For forest experiences, I can recommend agencies that offer 1 to 5 day tours in the Amazon rainforest, with different options for various budgets.

If you prefer a more urban vibe, I know good local restaurants and relaxed bars. I enjoy a light beer, good conversations, and exchanging ideas about life and travel.

Go to some places with typical Brazilian music and dance too, for those who enjoy it. 🎶🎵🎵🕺🏻💃🏻

I do not speak English, only a few words and basic phrases. However, I speak Spanish well enough to communicate. If you speak Spanish, our conversation will flow much more easily. If not, no problem at all. With patience and a translator, everything works out. I have already had long, great, and very funny conversations this way. Patience is the key 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first, I joined Couchsurfing because a friend recommended it and said it was a great experience. I thought it sounded interesting and decided to try it. But after four years, Couchsurfing has become much more than that it’s part of my life and my daily routine.

Meeting people from all over the world, with different stories, perspectives, and energies, is always a new adventure. New friends, new stories, new connections, and cultural exchanges happen all the time. It keeps life exciting and far from ordinary — which fits me perfectly, because I’m a bit crazy in the best way, haha! Life is never the same, and that’s what makes every experience so special.

That’s why I’m on Couchsurfing and why I’m still part of it today. 💚🌍🌎🌏

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

What I’ve learned
In these four years on Couchsurfing, I’ve met people with all kinds of stories — stories I had never imagined. From these connections and experiences, I’ve learned that the world can reach me too, in the most unexpected ways. Every person brings a new perspective, energy, and lesson, and it has truly opened my heart and mind.

What I can teach
I can teach a bit about life in the Amazon, local customs, culture, and unique things you won’t find anywhere else — a glimpse of the region through my eyes.

What I can share
I can share my home, my time, experiences, and a space where travelers can feel welcome, relax, exchange stories, and connect with different energies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Receive them at home, and introduce my city, it will be a great pleasure to make new friends.
I am available for whatever you need.

towels, shampoos, and basic household materials.

I can cook something typically Brazilian and also local. It’s not my specialty, but I can make a few things haha. 🧑🏻‍🍳🥘🥘🍹
