Hey! I'm Michel, 29 years old, Brazilian living in Portugal since 2017. Since then, I've been on a path of discovery — realizing how big the world really is once we take the first step. A few years ago, I shared a more personal journey through travel, trying to understand myself and connect with people and cultures. It changed me in many ways.

Now I’m beginning a new chapter: I want to spend some time in the Netherlands, getting closer to the local culture and looking for work opportunities, especially in digital marketing (my main field), hospitality, tourism, or anything that brings new and meaningful experiences.

I'm open to advice, connections, and real talks, and I’d love to hear from people who already live there or know the Dutch lifestyle. I believe the best way to truly experience a place is through its people and their everyday life — that’s why Couchsurfing makes so much sense to me.

More than just a place to stay, I’m looking for human exchange. I love deep conversations, talking about life, change, and learning over a cup of coffee. If you're open to sharing a little bit of your world with me, I’d be very happy to meet you 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm heading to the Netherlands planning to stay for a season, with the goal of experiencing everyday life, connecting with the local culture, and looking for job opportunities that allow me to grow personally and professionally. I truly believe the best way to live this journey is by meeting people who are already part of it — locals or fellow travelers. Couchsurfing feels like the perfect way to share experiences, learn more about the Dutch way of life, and build genuine connections while I settle into this new chapter.
