About Me

CURRENT MISSION

going beyond myself ..

ABOUT ME

Melody maker, enthusiastic, releasing the beast when highly inspired.

Just talking about some stuffs I believe its important to think about:

I appreciate diversity as the key for evolving, open-technologies (opensource, openhardware, opensolutionsforeducationalandsocialproblems, opentheories) as the key for wealthy distribution and we believe we shall reorientate our system towards cooperation, resources management/policies and human beings (instead of competition, resources privation and companies).

Trying to learn as much as I can from people around, phenomenons around, books around.. (not necessarily in this order).

Feeling/being responsible for things happening right here write now, sometimes I have the impression that our gouvernment's intentions are somehow hazy (so don't let him do everything for you!)

A mix of crazy responsibility, classical music and axé dance.

I appreciate saturday's morning sensation and I'm trying to have more of this everyday.

Thanks for being such an incredible member of this planet.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect to the nature! Be respectful with others.
Take care of your health, take care of others, spend your time with others, learn from the others, incentive creativity!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that by building trust and opening the doors of our place to other people we could contribute to make it here a better place to live, with much more respect, tolerance, creativity and peace.
