I'm a product designer, and although I've always planned working with transportation design, specifically cars, ended up in public service, currently working for the São Paulo Metro.
Designing cars are in the past, but trains, mobility in urban areas and improvement in state provided services are a huge interest.
This widened my view to the difficulties and limitations of the public sector, and the possibilities of design: not just a way of creating good, beautiful and useful products, but a strong problem solving method, a different mindset for creative solutions.
Most of my trips end up being research in different cultures, different architecture and different ways that people relate. And food. A lot of my research before traveling is about food.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

If there's just one thing you have to know about me is this:
I LOVE TO TRAVEL.
I've joined CS back in 2011, but never effectively used this community as a tool in my trips, I usually meet so many people on the road that I never actually needed... But will be interesting helping out people from other countries here in SP!

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I'm very eclectic.
I mean, REALLY eclectic.
I like good music, no matter what kind of. From Metallica to KT Tunstall, from Sigur Ros to Eagles of Death Metal, from Nine Inch Nails to Beyoncé and Mozart.

Absolutely addicted to sci fi. Books, movies or tv shows, I love it.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Travelled all the way from St Petersburg to Shanghai, by train (ok, busted, I really like trains)

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Love 20th century art and design and I'm somewhat of a frustrated architect. So exchanging knowledge about those topics will be fun...
Would love to know more about astrophysics. I've been reading a bit about it but my memory is terrible, already forgot most of it :/
And I know how to cook, would love to learn how to make some different recipes🙂

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões
