About Me

I'm 31 yo, virgo, lover of cinema e videogames.

Easy going, I like the open spaces as much as the indoors. I can enjoy either a hiking or a day exploring a city as much as whole day in the cinema or lazy in bed. I usually travel alone, so meeting people along the way makes the trip much more special and enjoyable, and that's why I love Couchsurfing.

I'm from Blumenau-Brasil, graduated in History.
Historian specialized in local history, with experience in schools, libraries, museums and social projects.
Also city counselor for culture of Blumenau (term 2023-2025) and ex-counselor for youth's affairs (2018-2019)

Manager of Blumenau Walking Tour, a project about local history and patrimonial education in Blumenau, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make more friends, to meet more amazing people from other countries, to know more about other cultures and to expand my view of the word

Interests

I'm really passionate about culture, love to spend the day visiting museums. I love walkable cities and and I love to go to places where you can feel the culture vibrating. I like bars where you can sit down and talk for hours with good music and good drinks

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: jazz, blues, rock, classic/baroque, samba, alternative, etc.

Movies: specially classical Hollywood and Europeans and Eastern Europeans. But I watch anything.

Books: history, astronomy and biographies. Also mystery and thrillers, specially the ones with political discussions, like the latin-american horrors. I've been diving into some Webcomics as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a month and half volunteering in and traveling around Morocco where I had the opportunity to spend a night with Tuaregs (desert native group) and some traveling friends with music around the fire and under the stars of the Sahara night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know and can share about Brazilian history and culture, specially from my city, and maybe I can bring some Brazilian candy.

And interested about the language and anything on the day by day/culture/traditions of the country. And/or anything else you’re willing to talk about {:

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience and my knowledge about anything I can share and that interests you.
I can try to make some Brazilian food if I have the ingredients (but that's not my strongest point tho) and I like to talk about history, politics and whatever else.
