CURRENT MISSION

"I'm here to laugh at the odds and live my life so well that death will tremble to take me."

ABOUT ME

I'm Brazilian, living in Ireland, exploring the world. Learning how to play ukulele! I am a very happy person and no matter what I have to deal with, I always find something to be happy about! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I usually respond to who ask me the reason of my choices: I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of." (Michel de Montaigne)

If you are €™in the sun and you close your eyes, you begin to not know what the sun is.

"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio." (Hunter S. Thompson).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I believe everything can be fantastic or wonderful!

Teach, Learn, Share

A cool friendship. I believe that most of people here are open-minded, and all share a common objective: be happy. See the world. Meet new friends. Share moments that you will keep deep in your soul, as a tattoo. I do believe our moments are more important than the place. How you felt and how you enjoyed when you were there.

One of my favourite quotes can describe very well this experience:

"We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again - to slow time down and get taken in"
