CURRENT MISSION

To broaden my horizons

ABOUT ME

I'm a Brazilian guy, living in Paris since august. I'm a Law student at University at São Paulo, but now I'm studying Economics at Sciences Po. I'm both talkative and reserved at the same time, neat, organized and I know how to respect people.

PHILOSOPHY

Discipline is liberty

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the next 8 months, I'll be only surfing, since I can't host while here in Paris. And if I don't have traumatizing experiences, I'll definitely start hosting people next year, in São Paulo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience for the moment. I'll try couchsurfing for the first time this year (:

Interests

I don't have a favorite topic of conversation, which means I enjoy talking about anything, I think. I love tasting different food, talking about cultural differences, learning new things and sharing experiences. I usually spend my free time reading, listening to music, practicing Kung Fu (I've been into it for eight or nine years).

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: anything fun, instructive and/or deep.
Some of my favourites: The Devil to Pay in the Backlands (Guimarães Rosa), 1984, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ (Saramago), How the Mind Works, The Selfish Gene, The Invention of Morel (Bioy Casares), A Song of Ice and Fire, The Kingkiller Chronicle.

Music: anything well conceived and played, from classic to electronic. The majority of favourite bands, however, are rock or metal bands. I really enjoy progressive metal, symphonic metal, stoner rock, classic rock. I also love MPB (Brazilian Popular Music).

Teach, Learn, Share

Brazilian culture, how is life in Brazilian countryside (near the border with Paraguay) or in São Paulo (biggest Brazilian city), kung fu, antitrust and intellectual property law, how to properly peel an orange and conspiracy theories.

As for learning, I'd say everything. Really.
