I'm a music therapist researcher, composer and musician. I play classic and New Age music. I practice yoga and meditation, but not regularly. I'm a calm person with a 'let's do it' attitude. I'm in Australia for the first time visiting my two surfer sons who live on the Gold Coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about places with local people and live a bit of their culture.

Interests

I'm learning to paint... slowly. I'm an outdoor person with bohemian traces. I am student of sound and I like to build instruments. I've been enjoying to see landscapes with my new polarized lenses (did you know they are amazing?).

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into Brazilian music like João Donato and Toninho Horta, some fusion jazz like Herbie Hancock's 'Mr Hands', Pat Metheny's 'Off Ramp' and 'Beyond the Misoury Sky'. Recently had some fun watching 'Strange Bedfellows'– my first OZ movie. I'm currently reading 'E o resto é silêncio' – a brazilian story by Erico Veríssimo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played with Ricky Martin in the world cup of soccer in France ! yay!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are into new musical experiences I have lots of music toys for non musicians to experiment with. I can also show you some chords and chilled out Brazilian rythyms on the guitar. I need to learn some Oz slang!
