About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel vicariously through these Couchsurfers until I could travel a bit more this year!

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, I play the guitar, piano, and I produce beats. I really enjoy reading, I have several books I'm currently digging into at the moment. Let's see.. I am a dual citizen, I am also Brazilian, which is where I will be going soon when I have enough money for a vacation house!I've seen a lot just over the last few years and I cease to be surprised and/or amazed. I'd like to keep that trend up.

PHILOSOPHY

It changes too fast to pen it down exactly, but essentially be open to everything because nothing is constant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to be there for people when they need to be put up and help make the world a less alienating place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed but not much. Just got a new apartment in Downtown LA that seems to work really well for Couchsurfers exploring the city - so trying to host some people while I got this sweet place.

Interests

Music, traveling, learning new languages and about new cultures, trying new beers and reading new books.

Music, Movies, and Books

3 bands- Animal Collective, Spoon, Radiohead
3 Movies- City of God, Hot Fuzz, The Corporation
3 Books- No Logo, 100 years of solitude, Culture Jam

All Bossa Nova... of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing thing? Probably seeing the waterfalls at Foz do Iguacu in South America. A very spiritual, humbling experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my obsessive knowledge of music, including but not limited to Bossa Nova and the playing of Bossa Nova on guitar.

I'm also a programmer, so I could definitely give you a leg up on that if you´re so inclined.

Hmm I speak a couple different languages conversationally, luckily the one everyone wants to know is the native one.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my dry sense of humor, working knowledge of some romance language, and encyclopedic knowledge of Brazilian music.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Uruguay, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
