Overview
About Me
I have lived my entire life in the city I was born and I haven't had the opportunity to experience many things. Because of that, since I got to Munich, I've been pursuing to take the most of it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Even though I'm trying my best to do a lot of stuff, most — if not all of them — I do by myself, losing the opportunity to socialize and share things. And that's why I'm here. :)

Music, Movies, and Books
My taste in music is very diverse. My playlists range from Hip Hop to Spanish flamenco guitar passing through Samba and a bit of Japanese City Pop. Maybe I can make myself clear about such mix with an example: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dVtLVSzESU". Enjoy. :)
I'm a bit new to the 7th art, but it's one of the things that I'm trying to educate myself. Regarding movies that have always been my favorites, there's:
- The Godfather I & II;
- Tropa de Elite — that I usally call "the brazilan «The Godfather»" and it's sequence Tropa de Elite 2;
- Whiplash;
- Life is Beutiful;
- Malcolm X;
- The Pianist.
Recently, I have discovered some new directors, like Kurosawa and Hitchcock. My favorite outcomes from those new experiences were:
- Kurosawa: Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Ran;
- Hitchcock: Dial M for Murder, I Confess, The Wrong Man, Rope, Psycho, Frenzy, The Man Who Knew Too Much (the first film);
- Bernardo Bertolucci: The Last Emperor;
- Billy Wilder: Fedora (It's the very first and only movie by him that I've seen. So, I have a good feeling about this list).
Embarassing as it may be, I start a lot of books, but hardly finish them. However, an author that kidnapped my wandering attention and whose most books I have been able to finish is Michael Houellebecq. Specially, his novels: "Extension du domaine de la lutte", "Platform" and "Atomised".
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Since my childhood, I raise midsize birds. Even so, I consider raising couple of geese at once as a remarkable achievement.
Teach, Learn, Share
I would be very happy to share and discuss about the hobbies I've listed above. Namely, literature, photography, cycling, history, mathematics, religion (I'm a Roman Catholic), cinema, trekking, programming, architecture and cooking. In particular, I would like to take the opportunity to practice one my favorite hobbies: language learning. Finally, I must say that there's a lot of things that I didn't know up to know, and there is still a lot of things that I want to learn about, like: mountaineering, museum, travels, new cultures and languages, etc... So, I would be grateful to the ones that would share their own hobbies with me.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As you may have noticed so far, I'm more of a "landscape person". I interact more frequently with places, objects and ideas than with people. An advantage of it is that I might show you good routes to bike or track, nice sights to photograph; and the most important: great place to see geese, ducks and swams. On the other hand, you could introduce me some facilities of the civilized world like restaurants, museums, expositions, festivals... I'll be waiting.
