About Me

I was born in Brazil but I consider myself from the world. I believe that in one way or another our roots are in the air, our home is anywhere, as a song known around here says.

Love to travel because I learn soooo on every trip. Meeting other people from different places makes me rethink my beliefs and be more empathetic with others. I believe that if everyone could get out of their cocoons a little, we would live in a better world.

And I really enjoy talking and hearing about politics, economics, more sustainable ways of living, travel, music, psychology, education, public policy... and I keep learning to like to talk about other subjects hahahaha I also believe that I learn from every conversation, every listen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the caves (cenotes) of Tulum was incredible! Nothing better than nature to surprise us. It was also amazing to see birds flying between the biggest fall of the Iguaçu Falls. It was beautiful and exciting! They flew in tune as if they were part of an orchestra.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation about Brazil and other subjects. My friends often say that I'm a good listener and that my advice is realistic and sensible, so I can offer it too.

Of course, I will be a respectful guest who will follow the hosts' rules and try to inconvenience them as little as possible.
