About Me

I'm still on a mission to fish a could.

And to prove that...
... I can travel around and study as long as possible. Now, I'm teaching a course on sports migration at the University of Cologne, and I live between Cologne and Prague.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've host people in Manaus and Natal, and I hope to host some more people in the Czech Republic.

Interests

I've written papers on urban anthropology, feminist theory of cinema, sports, representations of masculinities in Brazilian movies... I guess these could be funny topics to talk about.

But I'm not a rumbling academic; I can talk about other stuff too. I love food; eating is a real passion...
