Hi! My name is Russell, I’m from Brazil, and I’ve been a professional photographer and videomaker for over 12 years.

IG: @russell.mp3

I’ve worked on a wide variety of audiovisual projects across Brazil, including for Petrobras, the largest company in the country, and other top names in different industrial sectors. I also have experience in radio and TV, and a degree in Multimedia, which helped build my foundation in visual storytelling and communication.

Outside my main profession, I’ve taken on various roles that shaped my versatility and adaptability. I’ve worked as a bartender, waiter, and cleaner in hostels, as well as a shop assistant, pet sitter, and child caregiver. These experiences taught me how to be helpful, flexible, and empathetic in different environments, and showed me how much I enjoy connecting with people in everyday life.

+ What I Can Offer

If it’s okay with you, I’d love to document our experience with photos or videos, perhaps even a small interview, to celebrate the connection we create through Couchsurfing.

I can also help around the house: cleaning, cooking, or assisting with heavier tasks. I’m healthy, strong, and adaptable. I love animals, children, and elderly people, and I get along easily with all kinds of people.

I enjoy music, art, philosophy, deep conversations, games, sports, and hiking. I also have a strong connection with nature and spirituality, and I always seek authentic experiences that go beyond conventional tourism. So, I can definitely offer you not only my help but great company too.

+ What I Expect in Return

Make real connections and friends for afterlife.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Personally:
I truly enjoy being present and helping out. I'm happy to assist with household chores, cook when I can, organize spaces, and contribute to a clean, cozy, and peaceful environment. I'm good with my hands, can handle simple repairs, and love learning new ways to do everyday tasks. I’ve lived in very diverse cultural settings, from rural communities to big cities, and that taught me how to listen, respect, adapt, and connect with all kinds of people. I love exchanging ideas, listening to stories, and – if welcomed – sharing mine too. I feel comfortable around children, elders, and animals, and I see every shared moment as a chance to grow together.

Professionally:
I’ve been working for over 10 years in photography, filmmaking, and digital communication. I have professional equipment and would be happy to offer my skills to capture memories, create content for social media, or support audiovisual projects. I also work with social media management, editing, and can help with anything from small productions to full communication strategies. I’ve worked with clients from many different areas, which helps me adapt easily to different styles and needs. I also have experience as a bartender, waiter, and social volunteer – so I’m proactive, flexible, and ready to contribute wherever I’m needed.
