ABOUT ME

I'm brazilian, i'm 33. I'm a social scientist and I'm a documentary filmmaker. I'm currently a youtube producer and LGBTQIA+ activist. I have a youtube channel called Drag-se (youtube.com/dragsetv) and I really enjoy drag culture and night life, I'm also a drag king and a DJ. I'm currently in Rio and I live with friends here, I have a movie production company and I'm studying about trans representation on brazilian cinema, hopefully ater on in Latin America.
I like pretty much all sports, specially swimming and brazilian jiu jitsu. I love the movies but I don't go to the movies as often as I used to go.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone has a little bit to share or maybe a lot, that's what I'm looking for... I'm a trans person. I'm also a vegetarian and I really like to enjoy a day and a night out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a brazilian in portugal that told me all about couchsurfing and that's how I got interested. I had only one experience in Lisbon surfing a couch and it was great! I hosted one portuguese and one american in Copacabana for now and it was also a great experience. Now i'm living in a different neighbourhood and I'm loooking forward for more!

World cultures, languages, geography, history, politics. Sports, foods, photography, long chats about the future of the world or about movie stars' gossip. Litterature, cinema, fashion. It always depends on how people present it to you, almost anything can be my interest.
