💙 I'm in a serious relationship with travelling!

🕺🤸 I'm obsessed by dancing: salsa, break, modern ballet, I love it all.

📚 At this moment I'm taking my PhD in comparative literature. I study how epidemic diseases are represented in artistic writting. Yeah, I know... grouse. But I've got to read so many nice books!

📍🇧🇷🇮🇹 I was born and raised in Florianopolis, Brazil, but I'm currently living in Padua, Italy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a member since 2005. For four years I was only hosting, then I moved around abroad and got inactive for a while.

I hope to get back to hosting soon to help propagate the idealism again.

I'm also on BeWelcome.

Interests

Literature: I love it so much that when I was a kid my mom would scream at me for "reading too much" 😆

Arts: I'm a museum rat and I can get particularly full of admiration in Ethnographic ones.

Photography: I do it a lot, reason why my poor Canon is all beaten up: focus doesn't work anymore, the screen is broken...

Dancing: Since the first I've tried it out, dancing has been my smile, my relief and my obsession. Salsa, samba, ballet, hip hop: I can't get enough of it! 😅

• literature
• photography
• world history
• social dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love every type of good 'n old Heavy Metal - from Iron Maiden to Slayer, from Girlschool to Behemoth, all sounds like heaven!-. At the same time the africanized percussions and twisted rhythms of samba, salsa and guaguancó blow my mind just as much.
Otherwise I'm happy with blues, jazz, bossa nova...

Books: Tuff. I can't get to a list. Dostoevski, Balzac, Steinbeck, Grass, Saramago, Marquez, Llosa, Pamuk, Solzhenitsyn, Hesse, Mann, Yeats... My reading list is usually a great source of anxiety, cause books are added much more often then they are crossed out... 😅
