I live in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro - Brasil. Niterói is a city 20 minutes far from Rio de Janeiro and a great place to visit. I'm an architect and live for it and for music. Love playing samba music and love my books and vinyls.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most crazy thing I've ever made was going to live in New York when I love that much my own life in Brazil.
But the opportunities of knowing new places really excites me. I already new D.C., Philly, Chicago and I'm going now to Vegas, San Francisco, LA and San Diego.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play pandeiro and I love sharing this knowledge. People call it tambourine here i think.
It's an instrument made of leather used to play samba.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all my music tastes and give pandeiro classes, things I love to do.
