Currently, I'm bumming around in Oxford (just finished my Masters), and plan to move to São Paulo in mid August. Until then, I may be looking for places to stay. I'm a clean dude, and will help you around the house in whatever way you'd need. Not only am I clean, but I'm easy to get along with, or so I'm told. My degrees have all been in music, and I play the violin fairly well, though I'm out of commission in that regard -- at least for the time being -- because I broke my finger playing street ball in Copenhagen (yes, there is a scene).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Break my finger playing basketball in Copenhagen (no one, no one at all plays basketball there -- that day was an anomaly).
