ABOUT ME

I'm fond of good laughs and conversations around a coffe table and, most of all, of spending a lot of time strolling down the streets, just hanging out, either in my hometown or in a foreign and distant place.

Overall, i spend my days reading, listening to music, practicing yoga, tai chi, walking around, traveling to the mountains (whenever possible)... and working to earn some money to travel!

Anyway, "trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth". (Alan Watts)

AND I DO NOT LIVE IN RIO!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Asia!

It was pretty awesome my first experiences with couchsurfing. The deeper interaction with people and the cultural exchange are unmatched for any traveller.

What's worth having experiences like couchsurfing to a traveler is that might give to one the opportunity to go off beaten track fully, to get to know places that one could never figure out doing it on a touristy regular basis.

Interests

I have a huge curiosity on all aspects of the act of traveling itself, the interaction with both local people, the hearing of stories of other travelers, the cultural aspects of the places...

...traveling and retreating on nature, amusing myself with stunning landscapes, and yet living up the environment of big towns .

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching movies, especially american films from the 60's and the 70's, the ancient japanese cinema from directors such as Masaki Kobayashi and Terayama, independent cinema like Jim Jarmusch, and a bit of european and brazilian names, such as Werner Herzog, Win Wenders, Glauber Rocha, etc.

Music: brazilian popular music, rock'n'roll, indian music... Zeca Baleiro, Sergio Sampaio, Raul Seixas, Paulinho da viola, The Doors, Grateful Dead, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Ananda shankar, Ravi shankar, etc.

Books: on eastern philosophy...
