I'm a very sociable and open-minded person, love to meet up with people from different cultures. Brazil is my biggest passion, its culture, music, people and history fascinate me like nothing else do.
Due to my studies I became very interested in International Politics most of all about Latin America & Arab region. I surely can say that I'm a BRICS & Multivectorialism supporter !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think that the best way to get in touch with other cultures is spending some time with local people from the countries you visit.
This helps to better know each other and forges relationships.

Music, Movies, and Books

I Really love music, books and movies, they help me kill "saudade" when I'm trapped in my routine.

MUSIC:
-Brazilian music especially Samba, Bossa Nova and MPB ( Cartola, Jorge Ben, Gal Costa, Tom Zé, Milton Nascimento, Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66, Clube da Esquina, Wanda Sà, Os Mutantes)
-Italian music (Lucio Battisti, Lucio Dalla, Mina, Milva, Ornella Vanoni, Giuliano Palma & the Bluebeaters, Neffa e i messaggeri della dopa and Sangue Misto)
- Black music in general (my favourites are Stevie Wonder, Bobby Womack, Al Green, Barry White, Diana Ross, Curtis Mayfield, Otis Redding, Ray Charles)
- Arab music : I'm in love with Omar Souleyman and Orange Blossom)
- Last but not least : Electronic music (Chicago House Classic, Trip Hop, Tribal House, Deep House, Detroit Techno, Chill Out and more) .

BOOKS:
I love Italian literature especially Italo Calvino, Brazilian poetry but most of all history books because they represent the most simple way to learn about the world surrounding us.

MOVIES:
I'm especially passionate about Stanley Kubrick, Quentin Tarantino and Luc Besson. I really love 70's Italian B movies (Fernando di Leo and Umberto Lenzi) and Italian Neorealism (Luchino Visconti and Elio Petri) finally I'm a big Francesco Rosi fan.
