My name is Paulo moved to Chicago in 2021 and loving it so far except the winter. I was in the middle-east for almost 5 years before coming here.

I am nurse by profession, in ICU. I’ve seen many people die young and with regrets. Life can be unfair and cruel but as I go
to different places, I realized the world is full of wonderful people and one thing I learned from them is that life is short so travel while your young and able, make memories, don’t worry about the money, just save what you can, work hard, be kind, be humble, experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.

I usually travel with friends so kinda discouraged about traveling by myself until I did my solo backpacking trip to Europe since then been to many places I never thought I would travel alone and met amazing people from different walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have lot of stories to share and places yet to discover.
