About Me

I'm a 33 year old writer who lives in Curitiba. I also write about contemporary literature and culture in general. I like to cook, drink wine, play my guitar and my bass, and I have a Youtube channel for literature. I don't smoke. I enjoy hanging out and I like partying too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Making new friends in my trips and try to be a good host for brave travelers.

Interests

Literature, videogames, music, cartoons, skateboarding, cooking, cocktails, eating, movies, biology and history.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like book authors such as Don DeLillo, Dostoievsky, Mikhail Bulgakov, Tolstoi, Pedro Juan Gutierrez, Michel Houellebecq, Italo Calvino, Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy, Guimarães Rosa, Chinua Achebe, J.M. Coetzee and Jorge Luis Borges.

I care specially for rock music, like Bad Religion, NOFX, Offspring, Primus, Mr. Bungle, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Suicide Machines, but I also like jazz, like Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Benny Goodman, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Iiro Rantala and George Coleman.

My favourite movie directors are Michael Haneke, the Coen Brothers, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodovar, Ryan Johnson, Peter Greenaway, Ettore Scola, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckimpah, David Lynch and Samuel Fuller, but I enjoy a good movie any time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a teenager, I used to be punk. I've done a lot of charity concerts with my punk rock band to raise funds and food for the local retirement home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few languages, and I play the guitar, the bass and the saxofone. I also know a little about literature, movies and videogames.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice couch and warm chatting.
