I'm a 38 year old public server. I have a YouTube channel about literature (the name is Livrada!), sing in a band and published two books. I love travelling, meeting new people and sharing thoughts. Also, I'm a sommelier (not a good one, tho) and I'm interested a lot in literature, wine, movies and music. Most of the rest of the stuff in my bio i wrote somewhat 10 years ago, when I used couchsurfing for the last time, but as far as I read, everything still stands, perhaps not with the same intensity. Looking forward to go back to couchsurfing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making new friends in my trips and try to be a good host for brave travelers.

Interests

Literature, music, cartoons, cooking, cocktails, eating, wine, movies, biology and history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like book authors such as Don DeLillo, Dostoievsky, Mikhail Bulgakov, Tolstoi, Pedro Juan Gutierrez, Michel Houellebecq, Italo Calvino, Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy, Guimarães Rosa, Chinua Achebe, J.M. Coetzee and Jorge Luis Borges.

I care specially for rock music, like Bad Religion, NOFX, Offspring, Primus, Mr. Bungle, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Suicide Machines, but I also like jazz, like Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Benny Goodman, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Iiro Rantala and George Coleman.

My favourite movie directors are Michael Haneke, the Coen Brothers, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodovar, Ryan Johnson, Peter Greenaway, Ettore Scola, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckimpah, David Lynch and Samuel Fuller, but I enjoy a good movie any time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a teenager, I used to be punk. I've done a lot of charity concerts with my punk rock band to raise funds and food for the local retirement home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can handle myself with a few languages, and I play the guitar, the bass and the saxofone. I also know a little about literature, movies and wine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice couch and warm chatting.
