CURRENT MISSION

Researching for my next project about the first contact of Amazonian indigenous populations with rapid HIV tests in their own villages.

ABOUT ME

I'm a documentary director based in Manaus, the biggest city in the Amazon area. Filmmaking taught me a lot about tolerance, patience and empathy. I guess Couchsurfing has a lot to do with that also. ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"The fear of becoming old is born of the recognition that one is not living now the life that one wishes. It is equivalent to a sense of abusing the present." - Susan Sontag

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
