About Me

I believe traveling is an extraordinary experience, not only for the places I get to visit but also for the amazing people I get to know. I'm a big enthusiast of tea and books, sharing life experience, playing and listening to music. My guitar is a faithful companion and I'll take it wherever I can. I enjoy calm and relaxing places, but won't hesitate to go out for some fun in good company. I'm happy to talk about mostly anything, from religion to movies to life, the universe and everything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking forward to meeting fantastic people and getting to know foreign cultures more closely, as I'll also be happy to share a bit of my experience in Brasil and in the places I've been.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been listening to a lot of folk music lately, from the Oh Hellos to the Lumineers, but I'm also into the Beatles, Classical Rock, a bit of pop from the 80's and 90's and some of the current pop singers as well. For a more upbeat mood, I love listening to Coldplay and Imagine Dragons and the sort. If I had to choose a favorite band it would probably be Blind Pilot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was studying in Germany, I was playing the guitar at the local park when an elderly man stopped to listen. We talked a bit and eventually went out for lunch (we had soup, as he suggested). He turned out to be an amazing man, slightly crazy but with a rock'n roll spirit and tons of great stories to tell. We spent the following three months hanging out in jazz clubs, going to concerts and visiting landmarks in Berlin. My unlikely friend made that trip unforgettable, and we still exchange emails once in a while (it takes him a lifetime to answer - I think he's still a little uncomfortable with technology).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love listening to people, learning new things. I think life is an unbelievable journey and everyone I meet makes it a little more unique, as they help me shape who I am and discover the things I truly love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of great stories, a bit of good music and hopefully a whole lot of laughter!
