About Me

Passionate about traveling, it's important to me being connected and engaged with the richness and complexities of the places I go. When traveling I try to experience the world to expand my mind and consciousness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"The only true voyage would be not to travel through a hundred different lands with the same pair of eyes, but to see the same land through a hundred different pairs of eyes" - Marcel Proust

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading: Notes from Underground , Dostoyevsky / The Lives of Infamous Men, Foucault / and always reading poetry.

Sound is good to me in almost all forms, but particularly my soul is touched by brazilian music, jazz and instrumental. I listen classical music for reading and latin music makes me feel good. I can't stop dancing brazilian, african and balkan rhythms. And of course all albuns from Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, David Bowie, Simon and Garfunkel, Focus and Supertramp.

Like most european, south america and medio orient movies.
I also like a good documentary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aqui bate um coração - RJ / Here beats a heart - RJ

The project was created to explore (with love) the reconnection and transformation of people within oppressive big urban areas. The idea is about to map all statues in the city and suggest people to interact with it beating read hearts at the night in an interactive performance that encourages reflection on perception of ourselves and the city. The project started in São Paulo in March 2012, two months later we performed it in Rio de Janeiro.
During the next two years, 50 cities around the world spread this project, making the movement one of the biggest collaborative urban interventions in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

To me, the most special moments in life are the ones you feel deep love and gratitude at the same time and that happens mostly when you are able to do some good to another being.
