Brazilian anti-fascist gay guy searching for the meaning of life. 😂

Born and raised in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, living with a roomate in the South Zone of the city (more touristy). I studied Communications and now work in TV. Also, got a master's reasearching photography and image theory (is that relevant information? who knows?) I've lived in Paris for a semester, know a bit of french too.

Eating is my favourite way to experience a different culture. Interested in everything from street food to fancy restaurants (even though I'm a budget traveler). Also, I'm not a vegan, but I'm a vegan supporter if that matters (Go, vegans!)

Not actually the party type, but I do like to know a city's nightlife when I travel. Any local tip? When visiting museums, I like to take my time. So, if you're a slow walker too, please join me.

Conversation topics of choice: Literature, Cinema, Visual Arts, Drag Culture, Yoga, Politics, Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, how to stop the near coming environmental collapse;

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm a newbie here, have only surfed friend's couches up until now.

Kinda tired of the whole traditional tourism circuit, interested on getting to know different cities through a local point of view.

It's actually pretty hard to be brazilian nowadays. So, I'm looking to explore the world and meet new open-minded people.

Currently planning a trip to Central Europe on Spring 2020.
