About Me


ABOUT ME

I don't think I could ever define myself. Always changing, always a bit different. I don't believe that one's personality is something constant... I used to say that I'd never get married and I eventually did. I thought my stay in Sao Paulo was going to be only 6 months long, but I ended up living there for nearly 7 years...

Something I can say for sure is that I'm a vegetarian who eats seafood, aka a pescetarian. I'm a language teacher who likes to get kids to think and reflect on things. I manage bands, organize venues, frequent ayahuasca rituals, I've done some work on graffiti and street art, organized an exhibition, I used to be a tourist guide, produced theatre event, built my own start-up and I do enjoy linguistics, while I'm constantly seeking new challenges and adventures.

For the rest of me, you'd better just read my references.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

all started for me with hospitality club. then I signed up to CS as well. I've been hosted several times around the world and I've hosted people both in Budapest and São Paulo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uh, let's say traveling in general, but especially hitchhiking around northern Argentina, visiting some hidden beaches and waterfalls in Brazil, swimming in the Cenotes in Mexico and hiking in the snowy mountains near Mexico City.

The ayahuasca rituals have all been amazing.

Getting married after dating for only 1,5month.

Spending a day on the empty beaches of Cozumel Island.

Traveling solo in Indonesia.

Putting up a theatre project from scratch in just 3 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to listen to others and to observe. But I also like to share my experiences...

I teach languages. I love teaching, indeed. Or, better to say, Iove sharing whatever I can. I used to work with band management and booking so I can show you some of the best music venues in this city!

I know how to make temaki rolls, too!
