About Me

[english below]

Sou uma pessoa música e engenheira de software, que busca viver uma vida simples na cidade grande, baseada na busca pelo que é verdadeiro e o que conforta o coração. Valorizo muito a liberdade, a honestidade e a autocrítica, e busco me cercar de pessoas que buscam essas e outras harmonias. Compartilho meu lar com minha companheira Luiza Munk, com uma dezena de plantas e outros tantos instrumentos musicais. Sou completamente paixão por música, por artes, pelas belezas da vida, visíveis e invisíveis. Adoro tocar música irlandesa, cigana, regional brasileira, blues, rock, jazz, etc. Adepta do vegetarianismo, cozinho muito bem (modéstia à parte) e estou sempre querendo aprender sobre a vida, o universo e tudo mais.

I am musician and software engineer, who seeks to live a simpler life on the big city, looking for what is true and what comforts the heart. I value very much freedom, honesty and self-awareness, and I try to get myself around people who are looking for these and some other harmonies. I share my home with my partner Luiza Munk, with a dozen of plants and some other musical instruments. I'm all love about music, arts, the beauties of life, the visible ones and also the invisible. I adore to play Irish music, gypsy music, brazilian folk music, blues, rock, jazz and so on... I'm adept to vegetarianism, I do cook very well (if I may say so) and I want always to learn more and more about life, the universe and everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Acredito muito que a busca por uma vida aberta ao contato com as coisas e pessoas, de construção conjunta e orgânica torna nossa vida mais plena.

I do believe that following a way open to be in touch with the things and the people, building stuff together and living more organically increases our life in plenitude.
