About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy and love life

ABOUT ME

I try to think with my mind, anyway i always do what my heart dictates me. I have a short term memory which makes me funny or boring, its up to you! ;)
Love and peace is what i need around me, good vibes and a life of changes and travels is what makes me happy. I am not a big parties fan, but when its necessary my hips don´t stop!
I believe in a better world, but I am convinced that we need to change for it. Let´s do it. Everything is possible!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live everyday with less, for some I may have an austere life, but I am not someone extrem in nothing, so dont panic ;)
Im pescatarian, and I mostly enjoy raw food and local tastes. Always ready for new flavours¡

Let's say that I'm nomad,flying with the wind and keep swimming. Lerning, understanding, observing.

Jiddu Krishnamurti is one of my biggest inspirations in this moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy reading Herman Hersse. I grow up reading Isabel Allende and I could not never finish On the Road but I love it.

(If someone could lend me one would be very appreciated)
...Shantaram, El Zahir, Eduardo Galeano, and really looking forward that something by Juan Pablo Villarino ends on my hands.

I never get bored of watching documentaries and I kind of follow kepa Acero surfing videos all over the world. I really like Guy Ritchie`s style in most of his films.
Mostly listening to things like Ben Harper/Howard, Alt-J, Bob Dylan, Sixto Rodriguez, Tooth and The Maytals, Joe la Reina, Nneka.Eternal fan of The Beatles...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

go in the deep amazon forest with the qichua tribe, see the most beautifull sunrise on the top of adam´s peak or ride an elephant in india!
Recently went to surf at midnight under full moon in Jiquilillo, Nicaragua. Even i didn't ride any wave it was a magic and ultimate moment¡

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have some special thing to learn and teach. I am mostly interested on learning all type of weird things but for example: how to play ukulele, improve my surf, learn portuguese (sounds so sexy, love it!)
