ABOUT ME

(IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I AM NOT ACCEPTING GUESTS IN VIENNA BECAUSE I AM LIVING FOR THE MOMENT IN A SHARED FLAT WITH LIMITED SPACE, BESIDES TRAVELING A LOT, ITS HARD TO LET MY COUCH FREE AT THE MOMENT)

I am A Man, i like to play, sing and write music and actually do this for living. Before Covid i was used to be traveling constantly, i was constantly "on tour". During covid i travelled much less, now its starting again, I am on the road :)) everytime i have the chance. I Like sports , fitness Studio, swimming, dancing. Normally, I loved to meet people all the time, it sucked to restrain this behavior because of the pandemy. Definitely sociable, i also like to flirt a lot, mostly with the public at my concerts. I am obsessive about acquiring information from the most different and sometimes mutually conflicting sources.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To keep an open channel to meet people, host and get hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to be a independent couch surfer (i mean i was "kind of couchsurfing" a lot at people´s couches even before the idea of Couchsurfing be on the internet. I was in a lot of countries like Perú, Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguai, several Estates from Brazil (This country is a CONTINENT!), Belgium, Holland, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Japan... Once i got in the website i knew a lot of people from it and i "couch surfed" some times. I went to couchsurfing meetings in Graz, Vienna, Paris, Munique, Lyon, and i would like to go to new places. I experienced the changes in the website, in the features of it through the last 13 years using this platform, the change of internet culture, the changes in the internet landscape. Things change a lot! Had some really good experiences in France, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany and Brazil! Keep going Couchsurfing people !!!! :D

Music, Movies, and Books

There is a lot... better talk about it when we meet XD

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only 1? I refuse, here are some nice experiences: Conducted a Big Band, played for more than 15.000 people, Saw the sunset and sunrise and was amazed by it 1000s of times...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am able to teach a lot about music. I would like to learn a lot more about. I would like to learn anything that interests me in a given time. Anyone interested in learn about brazilian music, culture, rythms, dance,history... i would love to share/sing/play/talk about. Every time i receive a request i am so curious by the travelers and their stories, i really would like to host everybody on everyday of my life and never be alone, and keeping seeing the place i live through the fresh eyes of a traveler. It is a beautiful way to see the world. As a constant traveler, isn´t it what we are supposed to be?

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bunch of music, my experiences of life, a good and positive mood, i can sing for you, play for you, teach some guitar, piano or percussion skills, maybe cook for you. Or just offer a place to crash and be nice to you, specially if you read all this through and if you still are interested in hang with this crazy dude here XD. Just don´t forget to type in your message something about being an amazing traveler. I think i can share some valuable experience with guest, i believe i already did this in the past, i had various kinds of interactions, from completely chilled to some tense interactions, but all of them were overall positive.

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Peru, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Viet Nam
