Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I need to see the world! I think this says everything...
ABOUT ME
Well, I am a fine artist from Brazil... and being a fine artist is not just a profession, but it is a unique way of seeing the world.
I lived little bit far from my home town during my undergraduation, for 4 years. Then I went to the UK for 2 years to continue my studies and get some travel.
I love music, specially classic rock, jazz and good stuff. I used to play the bass in a Elvis tribute band in my spare time, and we played a lot, in a lot of places for loads of people. It was a good way to meet other people and to make new friends.
Now I want to travel in around the world to know places, culture and meet interesting people...
PHILOSOPHY
I am trying to figure it out... I do have some hints, but...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well, I have received some people in my house in the UK... Just like that. We shared a house between 11 guys and girls, so it was kind a mother's heart: there was always room for another one.
I'm not currently hosting just for the fact that I have a crazy flatmate. Not to worry, we're looking for a new flat and we should move quite soon.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Quite a lot now! Little by little I've managed to couchsurf a lot throughout the years. And I love it. I can't remember the last time I stayed in the cold anonymity of a hotel. I've been always lucky enough to get some incredible hosts...
Interests
Music: Jazz, Classic Rock, Swing
Books: Bukowski, Kerouac
Films: Amelie Poulin, Guy Ritchie and Woody Allen films and a endless list
Art: Everything!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The first time I saw Davi from Michelangelo was a magical moment. I entered the Galleria dell'Accademia, turned right and there it was. I was so surprised... It was a shock to see it suddenly.
Being in Paris was sensational. Not only the city, that is beautiful for itself, but I've got a feeling of belonging while in there. Hard to explain...
Anyway, each trip has its own unique surprise... It's impossible to list them all.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Portuguese (especially the curse words! :D), bass and maybe even a little guitar. I love teaching about music theory. And how to prepare a proper caipirinha!
