I've already acted, directed and criticized theater, but I don't consider myself an actor, director or critic. I've created and run an experimental critic magazine, but also don't consider myself a journalist. I love photography, have already worked on a studio and enjoy taking pictures, but I'm not a professional photographer. I've studied and worked on advertising, but I hate it and don't like to be called a publicist. I currently study social sciences, but I still can't be considered an anthropologist, sociologist or political scientist - not yet. And now I'm starting a social pay-what-you-want coffee shop in São Paulo.

I prefer to say I'm finding (or creating) my way of being in this world. I care about the people around, the environment, the amount of injustice and inequality there is in the world. I try to get involved and support projects and ideas that make human existence a little less pointless.

I like politics, arts, architecture, urbanism. I ride bicycles. I love good food. I'm a coffee geek. I'm vegetarian (update: to be sincere, I'm currently on a break). I'm into urban studies. Obviously, I like traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have my profile since a long time ago, and met a lot of great people through CS - and now I finally have my own place to be shared :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Always good company: Júlio Cortázar, Machado de Assis, José Saramago, Eduardo Galeano, Italo Calvino, João Guimarães Rosa, Fernando Pessoa, Samuel Beckett, Luigi Pirandello, Fiódor Dostoiévski, Mario Benedetti.

Always on the turntable or my earphones: Radiohead, The Beatles, Nina Simone, The Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground, Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, Secos e Molhados, Novos Baianos, Cat Power, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Miles Davis, Joy Division, Astor Piazzolla, The Smiths, Nirvana, Queen and a lot of other stuff among all these styles.

Cinema: Bergman, Fellini, Kubrick, Coppola, Almodóvar, Lynch, Buñuel and Truffaut are my preferred ones, but I really love the surprises, the experimentation and the freshness that come from unknown directors. Currently on a very special affair with argentine cinema.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Creating, with friends, a free social bike sharing project (no money allowed, everything based on trust)
- Hitchhiking, trekking and mountain climbing on argentine Patagonia
- Bicycle touring on the small road between Sierra Maestra, in Cuba, and the Caribbean.
- Opening a pay-what-you-want coffee shop in São Paulo, Brazil

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to take photographs, to ride a bike. Can teach portuguese, spanish and english. Can try to help somehow with french.

Love to show other people good stuff to visit in my city.
Love teaching about coffee stuff.

Have already tried to play some instruments (unsuccessfully). Would love to learn how to cook. And how to draw.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mind if I bring something to drink and try to cook something? :)
May I offer a good cup of coffee? (I'm a barista)
