About Me

Since childhood I used to move in Europe a lot with my family, so I had the opportunity to grow up in different countries and it made me really into different cultures, songs and literature. I'm happy when I meet new people and learn new languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, but it can be really expensive. So it's great to be a part of a community where we can help each other to travel without spending a lot on fancy hotels and at the same time make new friendships.

Interests

I love capoeira (it's a Brazilian martial art). I love video making (I'd like to learn how to make great special effects). I love to listen to good stories about life (even fictional). My childhood dreams are to know all the languages of the world and to become a magician (yes, I believe in magic).

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen depends on my mood, but my favourites genres are rock (hard rock, grunge and psychedelic rock) and brazilian music (capoeira, samba, bossa nova, forró and reggae).
My favourite movies are Pulp fiction, The fight club (or should I say that I never heard about it?), Les choristes, The legend of 1900 and all the films of Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers.
My favourite authors are Henry Miller and Erich Maria Remarque. But I grew up on science fiction and fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the Camino de Santiago (nearly 600km)
I bought a one way way ticket to a foreign country with no place where to stay and with very little money, but willing to work/volunteer and I survived for 3 months
