Musician; freelance translator (working mostly on music biographies), editorial proofreader; MA in comparative literature. Lover of music, languages, road trips (any sort of traveling actually), and the company of friends old and new. Fond of craft beer, assorted cuisines. Countryside over the beach anytime (or most times). Not the greatest writer about self.

My favorite place in the world so far is Joshua Tree, CA, USA.

Currently based in the sound and fury of São Paulo, Brazil. Looking forward to visiting many places more (and coming back again and again to those places I've fallen in love with).

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Not so much to only finding a place to crash, but to hopefully make new friends from different places to share experiences and good times with, so as to expand my understanding and my readings of the world, of its inhabitants, and of myself as much and as constantly as possible.
