ABOUT ME

I study art and literature, specially visual arts and literature of portuguese language (Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Moçambique, Cabo Verde etc).I also like to photograph, dance, draw, read (from books to graphic novels), paint and watch movies.

I always had been working with art, in museuns with exhibitions and educative projects. Now I'm working in an agency of art's projects, planning and producing a little bit of everything!

PHILOSOPHY

I always see the glass half full.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to know people, new places and cultures (as I believe anybody here too)! Beyond this I like to show good things in my place, and I believe to introduce people in my world throught a very particular point of view. I have a special interest about art (all the languages), literature (all the genres), ethnic manifestations (traditional rituals and parties) and brazilian culture and religion (samba, candomblé, indigens culture). Althought I have these likes, I´m openned to know anything else!

I love to go out at night with friends to the pubs, or to dance, to watch movies and shows. Will be a pleasure to show São Paulo to CS friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I've been meeting great people all around the world through this wonderful program. I realize that it promotes the best in travelling and in everyone, that's the opening your mind to new and good experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watch the sunrise
swim in the sea at night
work with children, learn with them
travel alone and discover that we're never alone
let my feet define the way
draw with closed eyes
dying of love and remain alive
work in an indigenous (Guarani) school
learn with eyes, ears, skin, tastes

Teach, Learn, Share
