About Me

Brazilian, history student (sometimes), full-time traveler of winding roads and wild ideas!

I’ve hitchhiked across countries, biked up mountains and, lately, I swapped the bike for a tiny Renault Twingo to drive from Barcelona to Mongolia — because why not learn to drive in my 30s?

Yoga keeps me grounded, DIY keeps me busy, and secondhand markets? My natural habitat.

I love slow travel, vegetarian food, and long talks about the world and its weirdness.

If you’ve got a place to share and a story to tell, I’d love to hear it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it’s simply the best website/idea I ever heard - best why to be against the system and meet good people.

• Learned how to repair my own bike (yes, we can do it!)
• Jumped into a lake after a sauna in Finland — pure magic
• Bikepacked solo from Barcelona to Skopje (3,000+ km!)
