American Wedding by Frank Ocean changed my life. I hooped in college in Brazil, but I wish I'd grown up playing soccer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving to LA to work at USC, but I don't feel comfortable renting an apartment from Texas, so I'm hoping one of you kind strangers will let me crash at your place for hopefully one night and at most two days while I run around and try to find a place to live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rap. Rap, rap, rap, and also rap. Other than that, Queens of the Stone Age haven't released an album I don't like, I like The Mars Volta, Mastodon are hard as fuck, Titus Andronicus, Explosions In The Sky represent Texas well &I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting.
I'm a big Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, & Christopher Nolan fan. I hope Coop finds Brandt one day.
Most novels I've read are by Steinbeck or Toni Morrison. Other than that, mostly historical books about the US & Brazil.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked 2300 feet to the top of Corcovado Mountain to see the Christ The Redeemer statue. It took about five & a half hours, but it was so worth it. Then I walked back down through Santa Teresa, the most beautiful favela in Rio, where I lived.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, Colombia
