I don't live in the city of Rio, please beware of this before sending requests.

I am a professor in a Brazilian University. I travel a lot to see art and to lecture.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The idea is very nice and it is handy for people who travel often. It helps to develop links too, which is important.

To host a foreigner is a humanitarian attitude and one of the first to be considered as such in the history of mankind.

音乐、电影和书籍

Rachmaninov, João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Django Reinhart

I am a great fan of Fellini, especially 8 1/2, but I must admit movies are not my thing. I am a "painting" person. As such, I love Rothko, Fra Angelico, Velazquez's Portait of Margarite in Vienna , Manet (everything, + the flower vases), Goya's portrait's of Vallabriga, Constable's cloud studies, the Rembrandts in London's National Gallery, Vermeer, of course, Miró's large canvases....

There are too many books, it is hard to choose just one or two. Nevertheless, I could say I am quite fond of Argentinian Roberto Arlt, Italian Italo Svevo, Fernando Pessoa, Thomas Mann........just so many...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have built two houses, raised two children, and did ten days of Vipassana meditation retreat. I find these three things quite amazing.
