I am a 30-year old Brazilian guy, who loves music. I've lived in Brasilia, Brazil, since I was born, with a six-month intermission in 2007, when I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I also lived in Paris, France, from 2011 to 2013, and in Rio de Janeiro, in 2017.

At the moment I don't have a home and I'm traveling throughout Europe visiting friends. I'll be back to Brazil in the end of June.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I believe a trip is much better if you feel the city. I don't enjoy going to touristic places as much as I enjoy going to a local place, bar or café, knowing places where people really enjoy. Couchsurfing is the way I liked the most to meet people who can show me how nice and special a specific place can be. I've never had any bad experience with it and at the same time I was able to meet very interesting people from a lot of different places and backgrounds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in San Diego (US), at Jimmy's house; in Los Angeles (US), at Quan, Charles, Mike, Jinesh and Mike's appartment; in Rio de Janeiro (BR), at Eduardo's appartment. At Thibaut's, in Marseille (FR). At Eliane's, in Manosque (FR). At Sarmad's, in Nice (FR).

Everytime was a wonderful experience.

Intereses

As I said, I love music, especially artists such as The Talking Heads, Brian Eno, Fela Kuti, Lee Perry, Art Blakey. I also love to listen to new groups, such as Dawn of Midi and Animal Collective. I enjoy hip-hop and some electronic music as well, such as Earl Sweatshirt and Danny Brown, or Nicolas Jaar and Four Tet. But I listen a lot to Brazilian music, as well. My favourite Brazilian artists are Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.

If we talk about cinema, I'd say my favorite director is Antonioni.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm talkative but I respect a lot someone's space. I'm not loud or lousy. Anyway, I believe everyone needs respect and, at the same time, attention. So, if people are open to share something with me, I'm also ready for it. If not, I don't feel bad for it :)
