Hi! I’m André, but everybody calls me Sun, my last name. I'm half spanish, half chinese, but 100% brazilian =D

I would describe myself as an easygoing person, more a listener than a talker, who loves art and culture. I have practiced Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan for over an year and I’m learning to play the trumpet.

I’m a actor, who have already worked as a cultural producer as well. I’ve worked for five years in a street theatre company, which I founded with some bachelor’s colleagues, and with them I traveled to different parts of Brazil performing.

In September of 2018 I left Brazil without a return date. I spent the first months of my travel in Spain and England, and in January I went to Asia. I've travelled through Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and studied traditional theatre forms in Indonesia (Bali) and China (Beijing), for a month in each place. It's been a wonderful experience here in Asia, but now is time to go back to Europe and enjoy some of the summer festivals :D

I’ve given free drama classes for people of all age and managed a Cultural Center, kind like a community theatre, with classes, performances and rehearsals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A coffee, a party, a beer, a chat, and so on... I'm interested to know what my hosts most love on their cities, so I can just go with the flow.
