I'm a project/event manager. I currently work for New Zealand's Ministry of Social Development as a project manager also run a Brazilian film festival and work promoting business between New Zealand and Latin America. Originally from Brazil but have been away for 15 years. Most of this time I spent in New Zealand but also lived in Toronto for almost two years. Now I'm making my way back to Brazil and thought I'd give this a go as a way to meet people along my travels until I get home. I'm quite a social guy and more of a positive, cup half full sort of guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Goes from blues, to popsync, to Brazilian, to dance music, electronic, drum and bass. Basically all genres of music would have at least one track that I can tune into.

Don't read much. I choose a gd story/yarn/movie over a gd book. Latest films are all of Xavier Dolan films. Sad but great film is Incendie (France)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left Brazil to go to New Zealand without knowing anyone and built my life there. I founded a Brazilian Film Festival in New Zealand www.reelbrazil.co.nz. Once it was was just a dream... until it became reality.
