CURRENT MISSION

I would like to travel the world and meet new interesting people in order to prevent myself from getting sucked into the bubble that calls itself the United States

ABOUT ME

I moved to the United States in 1991 when I was six years old. I am originally from Brazil, but am of Portuguese, Italian, Native Brazilian, and Albanian descent. I grew up in Northern California (Bay Area), and when I was 18, I moved to Santa Barbara, which is two hours north of Los Angeles. It is one of the most beautiful places in all of California, especially if you are age 18-26. I have now relocated back to the Bay Area and am looking to travel to new places, meet new people, and discover new music. I have been a guitarist for fifteen years and music is my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I do my best not to truly worry about anything in life. I always trust every person I meet until said person proves to me he/she is not to be trusted. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I believe that honesty and openness are very important. I enjoy discussing philosophies and life with almost everyone I meet. I'm probably not sane. But that's okay, it keeps life more interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a good friend, who is English, in Santa Barbara one year ago, when he stayed in my hometown with someone he knew through CouchSurfing. He was a new intern at the record label where I was currently working, and we almost immediately became good friends.
