I live in a farmstead in the Island of Santa Catarina in the south of Brazil.

I worked 18 years with IT, on network operation. During this time I worked to telecom companies and was partner of two other companies.
Now I am taking a break, a big one, 430 days, putting a backpack in my back and going to a long term solo trip.
I was planning this trip about 2 years, and now it is becoming a reality.

Its not a dream, but a celebration for a five year change process.
Now that I am seeking the "middle way" I thought that travel is a very good opportunity to open the mind, rethink, meet people with different mindsets, enjoy life, live different experiences and maybe find a new kind of work (with no cel phones) and love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I intent to have close contact with people in this trip and to learn, share experiences, improve self expression, learn about different foods and culture, do volunteering, improve english and learn new languages. And cs is a great opportunity where many of this things can be reached and it is good to have a real experience that how is to live as a native.

Interests

I enjoy practice Iyengar yoga regularlly, ride bikes, dance Brazilian rithms, go hiking, do scale modeling and photography.

I started tried to cook vegy foods too.

I expect to meet people to share experiences, to train english, to share visions of the life, to hear about stories, share moments, learn different and unexpected things, discover the unknown.
