Hi!
My name is Thais, but you can call me Maki :)
I'm graduating in advertising and I work with digital marketing. I am fascinated by cinema, jazz, blues, Funk & Soul, classic rock, disco music, graphic design and bicycles.
I also dig board games, so if you have it in your house I will love to play!
I live in São Paulo, I like big cities and I am slightly hyperactive. I like to explore unknown places in the city... you know that cheap, wonderful bar, that jazz place in the back of a building, that strange little shop with different things? You can take me there, I'm gonna love it. And if we can go by bike even better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring new cities, meeting new people, new cultures, new cuisine, new languages...and there's no better way of doing that, than with a local :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to disco music, jazz, funk&soul, classic rock, glam rock, 80's music...and pretty much anything you can dance to.
I enjoy reading biographies, I've read about Clapton's life, Keith Richards, ACDC, Andy Warhol and so on. I am also a big fan of detective novels and thrillers, Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, Nabokov.
I also enjoy reading and writing poems.
I'm a movie buff, I watch practically all movie genres, from old musicals, to nouvelle vague, gangster movies, horror, thrillers...I like Scorsese, Spielberg, Kubrick, De Palma, Guillermo del Toro, Sidney Lumet, Wes Anderson, Fincher.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook, although not very good on the stove haha but I make good desserts, if you want to try a Brazilian Brigadeiro you can count on me :)
I'm also enthusiastic about mixing things and putting together strange drinks, and I never deny a night out!
I can be your company to explore new places you've never been and I can beat you on Table Tennis and Guitar Hero.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a hyperactive person out of the house, but very quiet inside it. I am well organized, I love dogs (if you need I can take yours for a walk), I don't make a lot of noise or mess, and I won't eat the food in your fridge haha
