ABOUT ME

Sometimes I travel alone, sometimes with my wife or a friend, usually a colleague who is also a professor.
We enjoy hosting. We also Couchsurf when we go to scholar conferences or (mostly historic or "nerd") tourism. (I enjoy visiting universities, libraries, musicians, writers, philosophers).

PHILOSOPHY

I love reading and writing. I would be happy having philosophy as a way of life. I recently got my PhD in sociology, so I think I am getting closer to this goal.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like the experience of sharing culture and getting advice from locals, just like I do when I host. Besides, honestly, depending on where I go, as I full time scholar, I cannot bear expensive tourism.

兴趣

As for studies:
- Sociology (Durkheim, Weber, Marx, Bourdieu, etc.),
- Philosophy (Nietzsche, etc.),
- Psychoanalysis (Freud and Lacan),
- Law (comparative legal cultures)

Besides,
- Music (jazz, R&B, rock) - I can play the drums.
- Good beer,
- Knowing different cultures.

音乐、电影和书籍

Usually, jazz standards are my favorite, when I am alone.
For happy hours with friends, Beatles are great.
For partying, Bruno Mars and K. Perry.
Michael Jackson for karaoke.
I can play the drums (but I have not been practicing for a while).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Visiting Machu Picchu was awesome. The culture of the Incas is really amazing, a really must see!

Living in the 18th arrondissement, in Paris, a very ethnic place, was a very peculiar way of experiencing Paris.

教，学，和分享

I can teach social theory, a bit o French, discuss philosophy, as culture and politics. I like trying local beers. My wife is learning the taste of different wines of the world.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Languages (Portuguese, English, French, Spanish), Philosophy (I have read de classics), and social and political issues. Also Law. I like to explore the town, see historic (rather then touristic)
Sites, try pubs and parks. Nothing better than a good conversation, it does not matter if you are not a scholar or an intelectual. We are funny and easygoing.
