CURRENT MISSION

Make the streets a place for dancing - in a metaphorical way ;)

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelancer working in projects of digital culture and arts, member of the creative cluster House of Digital Culture (casadaculturadigital.com.br). I bike to work, live with the woman I love in Sao Paulo downtown (the place I've choosed) and struggle to crack systems and create resistance against pre-established patterns and rules. I do not agree with how the world is organized: minorities, labor exploitation, lack of freedom in general. I see the art (and the internet) as the only chance of survival.

PHILOSOPHY

I've already said that above ;) But I can say one more thing: the streets are made for dancing (the metaphorical slogan of the main project I'm envolved with).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to host people and travel to people's houses.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a CouchSurfer only once in life, in 2010, a guy born in Jordan who lived in Canada working with refugees. There were great days of conversation, celebration and experiences sharing, which made me believe more in possibilities of CouchSurfing. I eventually keep in touch with travelers because of some friends, who host lots of people and encourage me to start doing the same :)

Interests

I'm very interested in arts, internet, urbanism, links between the network and the streets and new ways of life in contemporary age. I read a lot and love (love!) being with friends in a bar discussing ways to make the world a more free and libertarian place through civil disobedience. I'm very engaged with social fights in the context of Sao Paulo (political discussions excite me). But I also laugh a lot and try to carry life in an easy-going way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Resign from a job that did not make any sense to go in search of meaning

Teach, Learn, Share
