Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
After 6 years in China and 2 years in the USA, i am back to my Brazil (Living between São Paulo and Salvador). Trying to blend in back to my roots and looking to pay it forward the amazing experiences i had living abroad all those years!
ABOUT ME
I am a very easygoing and relaxed person and i really enjoy meeting new peoples, cultures and costumes. I believe that encounters with strangers bring amazing experiences . After living in abroad for 8 years, i realised how much i love Brazil and i am very passionate about it. I can spend hours talking about music, food, locations and curiosities. My favorite activities are walking around exploring the city and listen to live music and trying new coffees.
PHILOSOPHY
Being unnatached to things and focusing in experiences mostly. I flirt with digital nomadism and i have very few belongings.
Life can be really hard for everyone and i always try to see the bright side of life. I believe love and kindness can be multiplied and it is what makes the difference in the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I Surfed a lot in China but couldnt host. After many years i will be able to host people in São Paulo, and looking forward for meetings
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far so perfect! I had a really nice sensation and i still get in contact with my previous surfers!
Interests
I really like to learn new things, specially when it envolves a different culture from mine. Music/cinema/art lover! (but i can´t play an instrument... shame on me).
I work with specialty coffee from Brazil and i can teach you a lot about the amazing coffees we have here!
Music, Movies, and Books
I like all kind of movies, but specially those who make me think about relationship between people (such as Closer, Big Fish, Lost in translation)
I like international music, but i think on 90% of cases i am listening to Brazilian music (Samba, Bossa nova, MPB, Pop/Rock". I like broadway musical´s and movies soundtrack as well!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Living in three continents by myself without knowing anyone and without (much) trauma
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, i can teach you A LOT about Brazil. I really enjoy brazilian music, arts and cinema, and can talk about it for weeks!I would be really glad to teach that! Also, i like to explore the "non tourist sites" on everywhere i go and share that with others. And since i´m a bit nerd and like to follow the tecnology trends, i can help you with computer & gadgets in general.
I´d like to learn anything regarding others people culture and discover different art
