About me?

I've always loved to travel, met new people, learn new cultures, but those 30 days per year were not fulfilling my desire to explore the world. I was born and grew up in Brazil, studied business and worked in an office job for 5 years.

In 2014 I left my career in a major telecommunications company in Brazil for a year sabbatical, but on the road I have discovered too many strategies to travel long term that I decided to continue my trip around the world and have visited more than 100 countries in the last 6 years. I explained how it began my trip, here.

I changed completely my lifestyle and I share my strategies on how to travel around the world for cheap, in my book JUST GO [EN] [PT] [ES] [DE] [FR] available in several languages. 

For me, life is about experiences and travel is the best way to adquire them. On the way I have worked as Hotel/Restaurant Manager, English Teacher, Housekeeper, Farmer, Construction Volunteer, Waiter, Bartender, Pizzaiolo, Bird Keeper, Bottler, Warehouse Assistant, Eco-Resort helper and Sailor.

I also hitchhiked more than 10.000 km, slept in more than 100 countries using the couchsurfing community and volunteered in more than 10 countries.
