About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Show some few good things São Paulo has to offer

ABOUT ME

I'm a journalist doing a 2nd graduation in economics. Interested in music, cooking, economy, politics, movies, sports, well, the basic stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

São Paulo may not be one of the main spots to visit in Brazil. But as it's biggest city, you may have to pass by in order to go to other places inside the country. So, if you have time, stay here for a couple of days, the city has plenty to offer. We have a bit of every other brazillian region's culture, a very good variety of restaurants, and a fantastic nightlife. Some of the most important musems in Brazil are located here too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experience was during my exchange year in France, when I was able to travel a lot and meet lots of people with the CS project. It does improve a lot your overall experience if you get to know local people, so that's what I'm trying to do now.

Just about everything, specially music and gastronomy.

  • culture
  • cooking
  • nightlife
  • politics
  • anime
  • movies
  • music
  • guitar
  • journalism
  • sightseeing
  • beaches
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Last book I read was Last Flight of the Flaming, by Mia Couto.
Don't have a special movie or director I like, but I guess the last movie I really enjoyed was Amour.
Now listening to Gal Gosta, Evaldo Braga & Milton Nascimento.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Morocco, I decided to hitchike from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh. In this five-hour car trip, we crossed through the desert, some green valleys, the snowy parts of the Atlas mountains, and finally got to Marrakesh. Amazing sightseeing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, there's few things I can share, mostly from Brazil's culture, politics and music. I'm willing to learn just about everything people have to offer, specially cooking. Come and discuss mine and your country's politics while we fix something to eat.
