I am a Brazilian journalist and a PhD student in Communication and Culture. I work as a freelance journalist producing news reports and video material. In Brazil, I used to serve the United Nations Information Centre in Rio de Janeiro as a video editor, photographer and journalist.

As life is not only about work and study, I love to dance. Forro is my favorite Brazilian style, danced by couples and very traditional in the Northeast of my country. Luis Gonzaga, Geraldo Azevedo and Alceu Valença are some of the best artists representing this popular music tradition.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because next September I will travel around Europe. As a PhD student, I will present a paper in Oxford University and from there I go to London, Lisbon, Paris, Wroclaw and Prague. It is going to be a rush trip in during three weeks.
