I'm Ricardo, a brazilian who wants to know the world. In each opportunity, immerge on a different culture and learn about the history, tradition, religion, point of view and way of life of every places I can go. I believe that education can change people and that people can change the world. Music, nature, getting in touch with people and learning are some of my passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, meeting and connecting to new people from around the world. One of my dreams is to know every place that I can, traveling around the world. As I believe that the best way to really know a place is to live as a native, I always try to know as most local people as I can. Besides that, the opportunity of having a cultural exchange through cooperation is an amazing experience that I'm really willing to have.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: One of the things that I love the most is listening to and playing music. Even tough I have an ecletic taste, I would emphasize Rock (Classic, Hard, Punk, Progressive, Psychedelic...), Reggae, Ska, Blues, Soul, Jazz, MPB (Popular Brazilian Music), Classical Music and Easy-Listening (Chill-out, Lounge, Ambient Songs...).

Books - I believe that books can change someone's life, even if it is by letting us live other than ours for a brief moment. I think that every book worth reading. Among my favorite writers are George Orwell, Chuck Palahniuk, Aldous Huxley, Oscar Wilde, Milan Kundera...

Movies - The Matrix, Fight Club, The Wall, Interstellar, Inception, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Into The Wild, The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Requiem for a Dream, V for Vendetta, Eternal Shine of a Spotless Mind, Thank You For Smoking...
