About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm really extrovert, outgoing, sincere and happy. I love people in general, and I'm always opened to have new experiences, to share what I have... I wanna live life deeply...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

HOSTED - Gilles Texier and Luna Fabuel
HOSTED - Isabel Naranjo
HOSTED - Ellery G.

I've met Isa, my lovely ex roomate and great friend. I've hosted her when she was applying to the MA program at my University in Brasil, and as a big fat intelligent ass she's passed the test and we've lived together for a year. =D

- I've met Julzi, my beloved German friend.
- I've found a place to rent in Canada when I was going there
- My trip to Canada wouldn't have been the same without couchsurfing. You can check Bahar B's profile to see what I'm talking about. =)She is a terrific person and a wonderful friend!

Music, Movies, and Books

that's hard!...

Movies? There are lots of movies of the most different kinds I really like... If we talk about directors, my favorites are Bergman and Lars Von Trier.

Music? From classic to recent. As I play flute, I apreciate stuff like Mozart, Beethoven, Telleman... Also, I love brazilian samba, bossa nova... Mpb in general. I like Carla Bruni, The Beatles, Oasis... haha... it's impossible to sum up my musical preferences.

Books? Man, I LOVE reading and writing. Lately I've been reading a lot of Michel Foucault. I'm in love with his books! anyways, some of my favorite books are:

O nome da rosa - Umberto Eco, Cem anos de solidão - Gabriel Garcia Marques, Crime e Castigo - Fíodor Dostoiévski, Hamlet - William Shakespeare, O Príncipe - Maquiavel, Vidas Secas - Graciliano Ramos, Encontro Marcado - Fernando Sabino, Feliz Ano Velho - Marcelo Rubens Paiva (página 183), O Amante de lady Chatterley - D. H. Lawerence, O Ensaio sobre a cegueira - José Saramago, Helena - Machado de Assis, A Divina Comédia - Dante Alighieri, La Escuela Moderna, Francisco Ferrer y Guardia, O Elogio da Loucura - Erasmo de Roterdam, Fernado Pessoa, Michel Foucault e derivados...
