Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favourite movies are "The Debaters", "Dance With Wolves", "Lisbela and the Prisoner", "Wild Tales", among many others.

I'm absolutely a bookaholic and if you want to talk to me about books we can talk nonstopingly all day and all night through. However, my most favourite author from all times and all ages forevah is Gabriel García Márquez.

I'm into all kinds of music, but my favourites are rock, samba, choro, MPB, a little bit of classics, regionalistic music from Brazil and forró.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a passionate language learner, and love to teach as well.
I also like much to know of other people's cultures and ways of living, and can talk about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pleasant moments, I can help cleaning the house and cooking, and perhaps do an unpretentious tarot reading for you!
