Music, Movies, and Books
As a filmmaker, it is hard to compile a few of my favorite movies. Andrei Tarkovsky's "Stalker" is my all time favorite. Alien is right there too. Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (not the prequels) are my favorite franchises. I also love documentaries.
As far as books, I read mostly philosophy, anthropology, sociology and critical thinkers.
Music... there are too many good artists! Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Coltrane, Miles Davis and Nação Zumbi are always on my list.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spent time with the Pataxó natives in Brazil and participated on their Araguakisã ceremony.
Bikepacking in the Faroe Islands.
Bikepacking from Astoria to Sacramento on a broken knee.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a very tidy/clean and will take care of your place as if it was yours (some people don't care about their own!!). I'll gladly take on some chores (cleaning, cooking, doing dishes, hell, even doing your laundry if needed).
I can entertain you with lots of stories of me embarrassing myself in front of people (they sure are funny!). I can also talk about Brazil - from culture to food - and we can go into a never ending conversation about cultural differences and living in a foreign country.
Oh, did I say I make the best vegan treats you'll ever eat?!
