ABOUT ME

Hola Argentina! Estoy aqui por algumas semanas con mi hermana con nostra musica y positividad! Desculpe-me, yo hablo portuguese mucho mehor que espanol, pero me gusta mucho practicar! Mi hermana habla espanol tambien. Somos a Argentina y Brasil Dec 28 - Feb 14. Que Bueno! Yo adora la cultura latino. Claro, somos gringos, lo siento todo mundo... ;P

I love MUSIC and HISTORY. Especially jazz and samba.

I draw pictures and dont use a camera or cell phone. I'm traveling and studying languages along the way. Why not have fun and make jokes? Positive vibrations and music jams in public places

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Rambling about for a few years, mostly in India, China, Brazil, and other developing countries to study history and language. Africa is the next frontier - I hope to spend about six months between Mozambique, Ethiopia, west Africa and maybe Nigeria. That adventure begins Jan 2012.

Interests

MUSIC (jazz, samba, blues, traditional, reggae, hiphop)
Especially OLDER music - 1920s-1965. singing and dancing for healthy life. Improvisation

Music, Movies, and Books

I dislike television, because its mostly bullshit. books are cool. I read mainly non-fiction reference books right noe, but really enjoy literature. I watch very few movies. I'm trying to develop some writing skills.

Some of my favorite non-obscure musicians are Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, and Robert Johnson. I like music with African influence - jazz, blues, chorinho, samba. I always enjoy traditional folk music, the good old honest simple stuff
