About Me

I'm from Belém in the Brazilian Amazon, but I'm currently living in Saint Petersburg, Russia 🇷🇺

I’m currently interested in learning more about healthy lifestyles, raw veganism, fruitarian diet, yoga (as an exercise and not spiritualism), alcohol-free, conscious way of living life.

I also should mention my passion for geopolitics, the global south economies, multipolar world and my strong ANTI-NATO political position.

DISCLAIMER: I love Russian culture and people, so if it can be a negative trigger for you due to the current geopolitical events, please let’s keep distance 🙏🏾

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am part of the Couchsurfing community since I was a teenager, so it truly became an important part of my life. I always try to be active on the CS platform by organising weekly events and hang outs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing pretty much changed my life, because even though I can not always travel around the world, this website connects me with amazing people from many parts of the world. It's like travelling around the world without leaving your city.

Interests

Healthy lifestyle, politics, sports and culture (not necessarily on this order haha).

  • yoga
  • politics
  • sightseeing
  • healthy lifestyle
  • raw veganism
  • culture and history

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies and documentaries and here are some filmmakers I like (random order): Gaspar Noe, Kubrick, Almodovar, Lars Von Trier, Gus Van Saint, Beni­cio del Toro, Carlos Reygadas, Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón, José Padilha, Esmir Filho, Arriaga, Michael Moore, Kieslowski, David Fincher, Woody Allen, Richard Linklater, Michael Winterbottom, Tim Burton, David Lynch, Eduardo Coutinho, Walter Carvalho, Vertov etc. Some of my favorite movies so far are: "2001: a space odyssey", "Donnie Darko", "Y tu mamá también", "Detachment" "Waking Life", "Before Sunrise trilogy", Paradise Lost Doc's I, II, III and "Os famosos e os duendes da morte", "Enter the Void", "Mary and Max", etc. In my hometown Belém, we have the oldest Cinema theater still working in Brazil, it's called Cine Olympia.

Some series I like: Daria, The Handmaid's Tale, Black Mirror, Sense 8, The Inbetweeners, How I met your mother, You, Dark, etc.

I'm pretty open minded about music, I can listen to pretty much anything while I'm drinking, except country and related music genres. But what you will find in my playlist right now is Joy Division, Lebanon Hanover, She Past Away, The Smiths, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Héroes del Silencio, Soda Stereo and Terno Rei.

I love literature, reading is definitely one of the things that opened my mind to the world around me. Some of the author I like in a random order: Kierkgaard, Bertrand Russell, Gabriel Garci­a Marquez, José Saramago, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Machado de Assis, Alvares de Azevedo, Kafka, Goethe, Jostein Gaarden, Edgar Allan Poe, Jack Kerouac, Maquiavel, Nelson Rodrigues, Milan Kundera, Slavoj Zizek, Michel Houellebecq, etc...
Juli Zeh and Stieg Larsson are my personal writing inspirations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born and raised in the Brazilian Amazon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself quite a multicultural person, I already have been to multiple countries and I absolutely love diversity! This way, I am open to teach about my culture and other cultural backgrounds that I fell in love with and became part of who I am :) I am also interested in learning different ways of leading a more conscious lifestyle, paying more attention to my own actions towards myself and others, as well as my eating habits and physical/mental health.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A private room/bathroom, exciting conversations about all sort of topics, lots of smiles and maybe drinks in this super hot Brazilian weather.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Viet Nam
