Read my profile before sending requests!!

I am a cultural exchanging lover that's why I work as a cultural producer.
Over the last 10 years I have worked producing gigs, exhibition, performances, parties and meetings. I recently took part in a play at the Culture Night programme and this experience blew my mind wide open.
Only accepting urgency requests.
I am originally from Brazil and I moved to Ireland not only to learn English, but also to get evolved with different cultures and people. In my spare time I like volunteering at festivals. So far I have been involved at the Dublin Theater Festival, Fringe Tiger Festival, Lingo Festival, International Literature Festival and others.
I have lots of passions in my life, such as: books, trips, cinema, jazz, blues, good talk, poetry, philosophy. There is any subject that I am not interested. I like hearing people's stories because that's the way that I managed to deal with my own unknown.
I do not host people who don't have reference and who has never hosted anyone so make sure you read my profile as we both can save time =)
I love life abroad, but I really miss special things in Brazil though. What? You might find it odd but there is nothing as beautiful as tropical thunderstorms. The presence of lightning and its acoustic effect makes me believe that everything is possible.
Just in case you are curious to know, I am Pisces and my ascending is Aquarius, =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because not only can this be a funny and rich experience, but also something bigger then capitalism. I believe that all people involved in this couch surfing thing is seeking for something that goes beyond free accommodation. They are seeking for meeting, for knowledge, for an experience that can only be provided by people who are willing to open their selves to the other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over two years I curated and coordinated a project at the school ‘’Renato Arruda de Penteado’’, which is located in a slum area in San Paolo. I invited artists who work with graffiti, literature and cinema to help to develop a sense of community among the students. By means of workshops they learned how to draw, make a video and also discussed the idea of belonging.
It was a rewarding experience in which not only did I teach, but also learned a lot. Those kids taught me that doesn't matter how life is hard, and it will be, the important is to have faith that everything will work out.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently Learning English, so if you find some grammar mistake here don't be shocked. Although I am putting a lot of effort on it, I am quite pride of my broken English.

The most important thing in life is sharing the word. Only it has the power of healing so that's why I am very careful with the word that I spread out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles and respect.
I learned that life is insane and that we have a lot do deal with: Prejudice, racism, status, bills, emotional problems etc. I believe we only are able to go ahead if we hold it together.
