About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To expand, to share, then expand more!

ABOUT ME
Brazilian Photographer learning about Cinema. I'm passioned for what I do and I really enjoy sharing this with people. I've been travelling for quite a long time and photographing almost all kinds of lifestyle. So I'm sure we can share a lot of experiences.
Besides the Photography and Cinema stuff I'm an athlete as a hobby, martial arts and climbing are my favourite sports. I love food and I enjoy trying crazy things in the kitchen. Good Music is a must in my life. I guess I should also mention about dogs... yeah, I don't have any since I'm always traveling but if we meet I hope you have one, I love them! :)
Well... I guess it's enough about me right? hehe

PHILOSOPHY

"A man must travel. By yourself, not through stories, pictures, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is yours. For a day to plant your trees and give them value. To try the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. Feel the distance and homelessness to be well under his own roof. A man must travel to places that he hasn't seen to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine, not simply as it is or can be; that makes us teachers and doctors about what we've never seen, when we should be students, and simply go see."
- Amyr Klink.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met many amazing and cool people through CS, I made great friends from abroad that showed me my own city! haha.
Joining the local Language Exchange meetings in my city was a great and helpful step to improve my communication skills and to also trigger me to put the backpack on and finally go see the world.
I've hosted a lovely girl from Germany years ago. Anja exploded my mind to the possibilities that meeting people from different realities can bring to you.
As a guest I got to know my Argentinian family which taught me Spanish and planted in me the seed of love for the Mate.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Jack Johnson is the King for me! But I also like Folk Indie songs, Barroque Classic music, Bossa Nova, Latin styles, Choro, Blues, Jazz, Rock n' Roll and sometimes Rap can go well... so yeah, as long as is good, I enjoy.

Movies: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty; Inception; Walt before Disney; Matrix; The Pursuit of Happyness, Django and a lot more...

Books: The Alchemist; The Magic of Thinking Big; The Secret; Laws of Success in Sixteen lessons and then goes on this direction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my 21st birthday I gifted myself a surf class. Two days meeting new people with amazing vibes. But I'll always remember the moment when siting on the board, surrounded by water and filled for peace, gratitude and wonder for the moment so simple but at the same time so rich of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tell me your best ideas, those that moves you, and I will love listening to you. Open your mind and ask me anything, I love to share my way of seeing the world without judgment.
I don't believe I can teach anyone... but I can certainly share a lot.

We can Cook, learn Spanish, English or Portuguese. Learn about Brazilian music, practice sports, have some adventures, watch great movies and I can teach you photography or I could also learn it from you since I got so much to improve ;)
