I am 32 years old and I work at the Federal University of São Paulo. I'm a militant of the movements that fight for the right to the city. I like to cook, for a good and long breakfast, a good beer in the afternoon (accompanied by a cigarette, notice!). I do not speak English, but I really need to learn. I speak fluent Spanish. I am a person who lives in São Paulo who does not see himself, the São Paulo of the non-tourists, the underground São Paulo that skirts the life of the neighborhoods and peripheries where I grew up, and where I integrate a huge and diffuse independent and vibrant cultural production movement I write, I love to read, I love cinema, popcorn, music is my oxygen, I play a little guitar, I love singing and dancing. I also like a little while, reading a good book by Galeano with a blanket on my feet and my dog ​​on the side, while I take a little tea from one of the countless incredible herbs that sprout in this Brazil so beautiful and unfair. Sorry for the mistakes, I'm writing with the help of online translator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and places. I love to travel. Knowing different pieces of the world widen the borders of the world that lives inside our head. I want to host cool and reliable people who have little money but are interesting companies. I want to have the opportunity to stay with good and happy people.
