ABOUT ME

After unsuccessful on a trip where I lived in my Camper Van (intended to last year through south america, lasted a month), here I am in Vancouver to start my life again.

Nature is a essential in my life, and I believe I will be happy with all these mountains surrounding the city. Looking to find friends with the same interests for arts and nature, so I can settle down in Vancouver.=)

During my life I've lived in many parts of Brazil, from north to south. Such places are still very present in my life, as destinations to see friends and reminiscing. Also lived in Dublin, and hope to visit soon the good friends I made there.

Whenever possible I am in touch with nature, whether for a hiking, surfing(maybe not here), taking a beach or any other activity that provides adrenaline and harmony with nature. I love Brazilian popular culture, especially from the northeast, the land where I come from.

I am a peaceful guy, and always see the best in the things and people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I bought a Volkswagen Camper to live and travel through Brazil and Latin America, but I was interrupted in less than two months, 2000 km of travel - check the brakes guys =/

- I cycled more then 1800km from Dublin to Spain, passing By Wales, England and France. Riding the secondary roads same as all I've lived this year abroad.

- I hitchhiked from Avignon(France) to Barcelona, depending of nice people on the way.

-I walked each step on 134 km of stunning beaches of the Rio Grande do Norte(Northeast of Brazil), with the most beautiful and distinct people and scenarios.

-Bungee jumping.

-At 17 years old I ran away from home and took a bus to a town 680 km far from where my parents lived. I lived alone one year (yes, with the consent of my parents), and I'm the only who know how much I matured.

-I lived for 8 months in a amazing hostel, where I understood you can't live each person who pass on your life.
