ABOUT ME

I was born in Brazil, but I have been living in Denmark for over 10 years. I've also lived in the US, and (briefly) in Sweden. I'm a vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

"without music, life would be a mistake."

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed once in Stockholm back in 2009 with my friend Katy, and more recently in Italy (2016). Both times were very interesting experiences, and I hope I can do it again.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great. People were very kind, and very helpful - and they respected our privacy.

Interesses

Writing music is my passion, but listening and discovering new music is also something I love to do.

Movies, I am a cinephile.

Football (soccer). Yes, I don't want to be the stereotypical Brazilian, but I do love it.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I'm mostly into Brazilian music, from the folkloric side to the jazzier side of it. I'm also into classical music, particularly 20th-century classical music, and modern jazz. Besides, I'm also into Argentinian, Latin American music, Japanese folk music, Indian classical music, Central African polyphonic music, and all kinds of non-western stuff.

I love books such as Shogun, Silence, all of Tolkien's books, The Road, Lost city of Z, etc. And musicians' biographies :-).

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Released an album (which you can hear on Spotify, "Raphael Gimenes & As Montanhas de Som")

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I can shares stories of the places I've lived and visited. I can also talk about a musician's life, and how it is to be an immigrant in Denmark. I can talk about anything, really! Very open-minded.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

The same as above: stories about living in four different countries and my life as a musician. I can also cook Brazilian food (if I find the ingredients!) and play some music (that will depend on how shy I feel though :-)!)
