Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Accommodation can be pretty unaffordable these days. I offer my place and hope to be received in other people's place to share a lot. Whatever that means.

Interests

I've been writing Fiction lately, but al kinds of arts appeal to me. Most of my poetry is posted on a blog, which is called Leve Mediocridade (levemediocridade.blogspot.com.br).
I'd like to meet new people, share stories and knowledge, movies and book references, visit historical places, squares, do outside activities...

#

Curto artes em geral. Geralmente desenho, pinto (faz um tempo que não) e sempre que tenho tempo faço poesia. Tento postar essas obras num blog chamado Leve Mediocridade (levemediocridade.blogspot.com.br).
Quero conhecer pessoas, compartilhar histórias e conhecimento, referências a filmes e livros, visitar locais históricos, praças, fazer atividades ao ar livre... Quase tudo me dá apetite.

Music, Movies, and Books

I usually listen to Zeca Baleiro, Lenine and Chico Buarque, but there's a lot of songs, including Brazilian and international bands and singers such as The Growlers, which I first saw by chance in a very by-chance situation. Since I sometimes sing, I always like to find out the music the others like (and is in them).
The readings I prefer are those which make me feel I can change the world, or those which show me how things actually are. Two books I'll never forget are 1984 (Orwell) and Brave New World (Huxley).
The movies I watch are especially drama or fiction; Adaptation, The Truman Show and Her are examples of my favorite kind.

Costumo escutar Zeca Baleiro, Lenine e Chico, mas tem muita música, entre brasileira e internacional que gostaria de compartilhar, como The Growlers, uma banda que conheci por acaso, numa situação bem por acaso. E como canto, às vezes, gosto de descobrir a música dos (e nos) outros.
As leitura a que prefiro são as que me fazem sentir que posso mudar o mundo, ou as que me mostram como as coisas realmente são. Dois livros que nunca vou esquecer são 1984 (Orwell) e Admirável Mundo Novo (Huxley).
Os filmes que mais assisto são de drama ou ficção, mas curto um pouquinho de tudo, assim como em todas as áreas da minha vida: Adaptation, O Show de Truman e Ela são exemplos do meu tipo favorito.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Impressions on life, the universe and everything. If you have a guitar, I can play many songs, including Brazilian music to chil out. I can cook a little bit, since I've been doing this for myself for a bit of time.

Impressões sobre a vida, o universo e tudo mais! Tô sempre com o ukulele e com a mente fresquinha :))
