I enjoy music, dancing and going out for a drink or dinner. I love traveling and getting to know new people, cultures and places (that’s why we’re here, right?). Also looking for some company for sightseeing, hiking, camping.

For now I’m a PhD Visiting Student at UC Berkeley Political Science. From Brazil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just arrived in the Bay Area and I’m looking forward to meeting new people and places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Brazilian music in its various rhythms.. To listen, Tropicalia and MPB, to dance, anything that makes your body move.

I also like blues, electro downtempo, nu jazz, groove and all psychedelic music.

Finally, I enjoy folk music as well. Lots of different stuff!

For movies, I like New Mexican Movies, Almodóvar, Historical Documentaries.

For TV series: Mad Men and Sense8 are my favorites.

Finally, books: most of what I read is political science, but I’m into Neruda’s “Confeso que he vivido”.
