Overview
About Me
I've been living in London for four and a half years now.
I do stand-up comedian, so I think I have a pretty good sense of humour and I'm always trying to see the world from a different perspective.
(I've been on Couchsurfing for a while, but I never got around to using it until now.)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to make connections with new people. People are the most important part about traveling. Nothing's better than a good, deep conversation with a new people. Also, I've wanted to learn French all of my life. I've never been able to, so now I'm committed to going to France as often as possible to immerse myself in it.
Interests
Of course, I'm interested in everything from partying to adventure...
Philosophy - It's my passion. I'll stop everything I'm doing for a good conversation.
Film - I go to the Toronto International Film Festival every year I can.
Performing Stand Up Comedy - It's addictive. Once you go on stage once, you're hooked on laughter.
Cycling -
Philosophy - We need a new philosophy to carry us through the next era... so, let's talk until we figure it out.
French -
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu -
- music
- cycling
- psychology
- sociology

Music, Movies, and Books
I hate saying that I listen to all types of music, but I really do. I listen to a lot of jazz, hip hop, electronic, 70's soul, indie music and Brazilian music. But, I'm open to anything. All music is good music.
Godel, Escher Bach (1979).
Guns, Germs & Steel

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I went to the World Cup in Brazil. I loved Pelé ever since I was young, so going to Brazil to see football on the world largest stage was my dream come true.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach English (like everyone else that speaks English).
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love good conversations, so I can give you my words and attention. But, further, I am completely confidential and I don't pass judgement. You can tell me anything; we can discuss it; and you will feel accepted.
I'm a decent cook (I can't cook vegan, unfortunately).
I can be your plus one to any event.
Of course, I can teach you English as well. ;)
