About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fly around the world...

ABOUT ME

I think I'm an easy going person who likes to enjoy life. I enjoy a lot cultural things, like museums, music concerts, architecture, literature, photography and cinema. But there's nothing catchier than a good chat over a couple of beers. One of my passions is just talk with my friends and share experiences and points of view. By the way, I like so much to walk in the streets, just to see the city, dance at night and give parties at home. Ah! I love food too, but I donâ

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My firsts experiences of surf in a couch were in Europe, during a erasmus exchange in 2009, when I lived in Portugal. All hosts were wonderful with me... And it confirmed my idea about couch surfing: you can learn much more about the foreing culture inside a CSer home than in formal hostel. They explain me a lot of things of the country and I loved it!
And I was in the Coimbra Calling, in May 2009, where I could met diferent people from every where. It was excinting listen curious histories. But, usually, I dont have time to go to CS meetings in my city.

Nowadays, I live in Rio de Janeiro, but I from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. So I'm a foreigner in Rio de Janeiro like you... But, if i can, I will show you some nice places in this wonderful city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hum! Movies, Music and Books are just the most important things in my life!! Because they are in my entire life and I spend a great time and money with this things: I like to study anthropology and theory of cinema at university, so books in this area are valuable for me. Good books of literature brand my person, like Grande Sertão Veredas, by João Guimarães Rosa, so I'm always reading something.
Music involves all my life too. And I have a great pleasure to see concerts: Bach, Beethoven, Rakmaninoff, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Sigur Rós, Buena Vista Social Club, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Astor Piazzola, The Doors, Ray Charles, Chico Buarque, Raul Seixas, Mutantes, Novos Bainos, Cordel do Fogo Encantado, Marisa Monte, Clara Nunes, Elis Regina, Jorge Ben, Baden Pawell, Maria Bethânia, Paulinho da Viola, frevo, chorinho, "xote, maracatu e baião"... But, of course, the list doesn't end here...
Well, my passion for cinema grew up inside of me and now I decided to study it. The experience of watching an art film, in a dark room, in front of a big screen, in silence and leaving your life outside, there is no explanation!!
