🇬🇧 About Me
Hi! I’m Gabriel from Brazil — a hitchhiker and adventure seeker. Since 2016, I’ve been on a life-changing journey: I left a successful real-estate career to follow the call of the road. I’ve hitchhiked from Brazil to Alaska without taking a plane, traveled through more than 40 countries, and I’m now on my second round-the-world trip.

Right now I’m in Ireland, planning to continue hitchhiking all the way to India. 🚗🌏

🌍 Travel Style
I travel simply, love camping, meeting people, and sharing stories. For me, human connection is the most valuable part of the journey — every ride, every meeting, every conversation is part of the adventure.

💡 Interests

Nature, spirituality, and philosophy

Local culture and vegetarian food

Creative projects and life stories

Music (from opera to rock!) and long conversations by the fire

🏡 What I Offer
When I’m not on the road, I enjoy hosting travelers, sharing meals, and helping with local tips. I believe in a hospitality network where everyone feels welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

IT'S A BIG FAMILY
I've been on Couchsurfing a short time and I've discovered that it's the best thing in the world for those who like to travel alone, I like to take part in meetings and exchange experiences with people and make new friends

Estou no Couchsurfing a pouco tempo e já descobri que é melhor coisa do mundo para quem gosta de viajar sozinho, gosto de participar dos encontros e trocar experiências com as pessoas e fazer novos amigos.
