About Me

I am a chaotic good explorer.
Big adept and defender of freedom in all it's forms.
I am (board)game enthusiast, and I also love everything related to arts, aesthetics and nature.
Looking for whimsical serendipity.
Always trying to keep my inner child alive.
Love maps but sometimes prefer to get lost.
Radical self expression and Gifting are my favourite principles.

I was living in China for 5 years before the pandemic, after being stuck in Brazil for 3 years, now I am living in a remote island in Finland (although it feels more like Sweden).

I love cooking and senses exploration.

Let's play or create something together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept at the top of a tower on the great wall under a starry sky.

Cuddled with people I didn't know without even being able to see their faces properly under a sky with very frequent shooting stars until the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always eager to learn, so you are always welcome to teach me something new. Teach me your favourite recipe, or something in your language, or how to whistle using fingers.
During my couchsurfing experience I noticed that the thing I teach the most is how to make small cool boxes from postcards. If there is anything else that I can teach, it will be my pleasure doing so.
I am always down to share whatever I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I heard I am a good cook.
I can also share stories and hopefully some good time to make new ones.
