CURRENT MISSION

To make a film in China!

ABOUT ME

I am living for almost a year now in Berlin. Before I studied for three years in NY, where I graduated with a MA in Media Studies. Now in Berlin I work as a youth educator and I am making my own films. My films have been mostly documentaries or experimental films on 16mm or Super 8mm. This year I will be shooting a documentary project in China. Of course it's super low-budget, but at least I have total creative control ...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to enjoy and appreciate what I have and what I do. Live in the present and stop worrying what should have/ could have happened.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I participated by hosting or meeting people, but I didn't had the resources in NY and stopped using CS for a while. I just met a old friend again, who I knew through CS, and that reminded me how great the platform is. Now in Berlin I plan to participate by hosting and meeting people again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using Couch Surfing when I was living in Brazil and I met some really nice people. I got the chance to spent a holiday weekend with a family at their grandparents farm and to eat every kind of traditional homemade food. I am still in touch with some of the people I met on CS and we continue to visit each other.
