About Me

I want to know as much as I can the whole world, especially the people, the nature and the cultures. I have a dream of travelling around the globe and I'm pretty sure that I'll know the right moment to do that.
I love the life in a biological perspective, including all the processes that manage it, the evolution that never stops and the diversity of species and shapes.
I really enjoy talking, but also like the silent according the moment. I'm a guy who definitely doesn't demand luxury, I like cheap bars when with friends, trails into the nature and I enjoy to run with another person because the chat flows in these moments and became very significant.
I have a deep admiration of Latin America and a great respect about these people, their history, their resistance and strength. I only started to understand myself as latin american when I was 19 and started to study spanish.
I don't eat meat and I like my coffee without milk and sugar :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 13, I participated in a contest of spelling in Brazil and became in top 9.
In 2017 I made a student exchange inside Brazil and lived for five months in Minas Gerais. This changed my life and light up a passion for travelling in me.
In 2018, me and my parents made a road trip around Uruguay. It was the first time I left Brazil and It was amazing because we had virtually no plans, we just hit the road.
In January 2019 I made a trip around Bolivia, Peru and Argentina for 20 days. It was incredible, I have no words.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like to compare languages, so I can teach some portuguese with pleasure. Even spanish I can teach some. I also like plants, so I can spend much time cheating about them. I like to discuss politics too and I see myself as a good listener.
