Hello everyone my name is Santiago and I am a Brazilian-American male living in Nashville,TN who is moving to NYC for School and work. Attended Middle Tennessee state university where i studied and was in the Band of Blue Marching band playing mellophone horn(pretty Much a marching french horn with trumpet fingerings) and was in the university symphonic band playing clarinet and university orchestra on violin & viola. I am a guy who is passionate about music and languages. Currently learning Korean and Spanish at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am meeting with directors from NYU and Columbia University about the international Business programs. I also have found a apartment here but cannot move in until renovations are done for the next 2 weeks. I am very excited about that so i am Couchsurfing to meet with these school directors and to get to know the city and the people.
