CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, play hard, sleep in between

ABOUT ME

Just like 110% of couchsurfers (if profiles are to be trusted), I am "easygoing", "openminded" and "love other cultures" but somewhat ironic.

PHILOSOPHY

That one can either expose oneself aggressively to the world or else suffer from acute alienation and spiritual atrophy.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm unlikely to couchsurf myself anytime soon. But I have an idle place at home, in Copacabana near the beach, and I feel bound to have people over (see personal philosophy section)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people. I have never surfed.

Intereses

Just too many to list here.

• politics
• traveling
• anthropology
• languages
• beaches

Música, películas y libros

Besides reading a lot about oil in Brazil (it's my job...), I am reading on and off Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand (I'm libertarian, I confess, but if you're progressive we can debate about it)

Algo increíble que he hecho

I've lived in Morocco for a year, as a cultural exchangee when I was 18. Fasted during Ramadan, tried to organize garbage pickers into a cooperative (and failed...) and learned moroccan arabic (nowadays a bit rusty).

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Languages, love'em. Whatever I can tell about Brazil and Rio: politics, economy, anthropology and (off course) travel advice.
