I'm a Brazillian PhD student lot in the US looking to share life experiences with interesting people (specially international people).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to NY and decided it would be a nice experience to meet new people!

Interests

I have a very broad set of interests. I'm very interested in any academic topic, specially philosophy, psychology, anthropology, politics and sciences (physics biology, neuroscience, etc). Besides that, I really like games, boardgames and anime and movies. I really like talking to smart people about interesting things, and sharing life experiences.

I'm a all-in music. Depends on the mood. I'm generally up to anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a psychotherapist for a couple of years in Brazil, before leaving to get my PhD and focusing my career on science and research.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an Effective Altruist, that believes that every life is worth the same. We should focus our attention in saving the lives we can, while protecting the future of humanity from extinction. Do not give your money away, do not throw your money away. Give money to people who would use every cent to survive, e.g., mosquito nets to poor African communities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to cook moderately well. I'm a wise and intelligent man. I know a lot about a lot of stuff, and I can talk a lot too, and entertain a whole party with random topics.

I'm also excited about everything in general :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, England, France, Paraguay, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In
