ABOUT ME

I'm a young nuclear engineer from Rio, 30 years old. During 2014, I was an exchange student at PennState and I lived near Pittsburgh for the Summer. I love to learn new languages, meet new people and specially new cultures. I believe it's really aggrandizing to get in touch with new cultures, it opens your mind.

In 2021, I moved to Sweden and I live here since.

I'm not a very religious person, but I think you should always do what makes you feel better.

I love getting in touch with nature. Hiking, biking, scuba diving, snorkeling,...

In 2019 I made a trip to India and it changed my life. It was a three week yoga course followed by a couple of weeks traveling around the country. Since then, I became a vegetarian and it’s now been over 5 years.

One of my biggest hobbies is gardening. I liked plants before but it became a real hobby during covid period. I was living in Brazil at the time and started a plant instagram and YouTube channel (@malucosasplantas, if interested). I’ve kept the hobby after moving to Sweden but I haven’t devoted much time to the social networks lately. I have a big collection of Anthuriums and Philodendrons. The tropical plants make me feel like home.

I love music too. It's like: I don't go anywhere without my headphones.

Part of my mother's family is from Germany, so I kind of have a crush with this country. However, I haven't learned german yet.

Feel free to contact me. If I'm able I will host you, if not we can just hang out and I can show you a bit of the city.

If you want more info or just chat with me, add me on instagram or Facebook. No problems. Just mention that you found me on Couchsurfing. ;)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Ok, as you can see above I am a Bjork fan. One of the greatest things I've done (surely one of the craziest things), was to go to the premiere of her movie in NYC, ask her a question, give her a signed Patti Smith book as a gift and end up hugging her. It was Amazing!
