About Me

I'm very outgoing person and I love to meet new people from any place, also I love to know other languages and its accents.

Besides that, I am very connected with spirituality. I am trying to be a better person day by day, it's a daily exercise!

Also I am trying to push myself to appreciate all the little beautifull moments in life and contemplate each present moment.

And of course I like to party and to drink some beer with friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Never give up of dream, make it come true.

Learn with every step of life and grew up with difficulties.

Always try to be positive and have fun with everything.

Listen to your heart, it is always right!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things was: I lived in CHINA! And after I quit my job there I backpack by myself for 7 months around Asia: I did hike at Great Wall, I have been to the Shaolin Temple and the beautiful Avatar's mountains, I meditate with monks in Thailand and also party hard there, I discover Angkor Temples with a Discovery Channel crew and I met the best kids ever there; a moto trip around Vietnam and to some paradise islands in Bali. I studied with Dalai Lama and I crossed India from North to South in a train for 2 days to get to my guru`s Asharam, where I spent one month meditating and volunteering.

Other adventures: I`ve been to Jericoacora, a paradise hidden in Ceara - Brasil, I've done a backpackers trip around Europe by myself for 3 months. Also I've seen the Van Gogh's, Picasso's and Lautrec's painting live, what make me cry. I met his Holiness Dalai Lama. FUERZA BRUTA was the most amazing and sensitive concert I've been in my whole life. Another amazing one, was to discover the most beautiful place in my town, a secret beach, by a trail (I can show you!) I've worked in the biggest Casino in USA (in a Indian area in Connecticut). Besides, I was at Carnaval in Rio in 2010 and 2013 and I falling in love for the Cidade Maravilhosa and I lived there for a year. One day I asked for money for a homeless, and (surprisely) he gave me!
