About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn everything with a little help from my friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 23 years old brazilian with some special love for music. I'm trying to learn english language, spanish, french... I'll be in Dublin for 1 year, maybe more, and I really want to know as many countries as possible in this short time. I love music, specially the old ones (60s, 70s) and blues above all. I love to share experiences, listen stories, tell and hear jokes, laugh all the time, know people, ask everything, scream louder when happy, drink beer, vodca, whiski, or just a coffee. I'm trying to quit smoking (every monday).

PHILOSOPHY

Good or bad, everybody can teach you something that you can use.
"Blues is a pick up, not a letdown" - John Lee Hooker

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started my couchsurfing too late in my life but i loved this idea. Since I began, its been a great time with the most cool people from all the world. For the moment i'm only providing my couch, but, in the future, i really want to be an active surfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a couch surfer since i was born, but i didn't know the couch surfing, i always did this in friends houses around the Brazil, and my real experience is with lots of friends in my house, all the time, trying to be the best host always. My fridge is your fridge.

Music, Movies, and Books

I saw all the Monty Python's movies thousands of times, all Tarantino, Kubrick, Cheech e Chong. I also like a good comedy. I dont live without books, I loved for a time the Tolkien, I'm loving the Douglas Adams books now. Aldous Huxley is fantastic too. I read everything by and about Bukowski (there are days that i wake up a little Chinaski). Kafka is crazy and i love him. A brazilian writer that i really like is João Ubaldo Ribeiro. I am reading now the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Naked Ape. Music is my passion, i love old prog rocks, jazz, Blues, Blues, Blues, rock and roll, folk music, traditional of the countries are interesting too. Brazilian music is amazing when you know what to listen. Hermeto Pascoal is a real live God. Chico Buarque wrote the best lyrics. Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd are forever. Rolling Stones and Beatles have a music for every kind of day...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a hitchhiker for a long time and in my travels i knew lots of nice people and shared many funny histories. I was a firefighter. I was a dancer in a Polish group. My life was in the nights, and what i saw in 12 years going to pubs and bars was amazing.
