ABOUT ME
I'm really into all kinds of music. I can get down with just about anything, and I love to dance.
PHILOSOPHY
Try your best not to sweat anything life throws at you - move on instead.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Going to meet-ups and hosting here and there.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've crashed at a lot of peoples' places, but mostly in the United States. The most memorable are past visits to friends in Maine, NYC, Oakland etc., especially one trip to Maine when I stayed on my friend's couch for most of the summer and I was able to see much of that beautiful state.
Interests
Music and art, knowledge, science, people and culture, especially the beautiful array of personalities we find here in the lovely city of São Paulo, migrant, underserved and/or manipulated populations and the fascinating webs of artistic/cultural perseverance that emerge around these groups as well as the feelings of hope and unity they give to all; that any real social progress to occur benefits them. Wake up, reach out, and spread love...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
"What a loooooong, strange trip it's been!" Nothing really stands out, the whole trip has been one great big amazing adventure doin' and seein'.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to share with people things I've been learning, such as music theory, culture, Portuguese or Spanish. I want to learn more dancing.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'd like to share music with the Paulistas. I'm here in São Paulo to work a lot teaching English, but I'd really like to meet musicians to discover and explore what music we can come up with through our cultural exchange. I'd also really enjoy meeting and conversing with fluent Spanish speakers because my Spanish is slowly but surely meshing into Portuguese.
