One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jump, freefall, parachuting, rappelling, trekking, skiing.
Dived into Fernando de Noronha and the Ilha Grande, explored caves in the interior of Brazil, surfed in beautiful Brazilian beaches and slept in some.
I camped in many places, walked over 40 kilometers in a day just to see a beach. Organized trips, parties and moom party. Shared a single plate of food with over 10 strangers (and dinner was really delicious!)
I went to Africa and stroked babies lions.
I traveled through India and I was not sick, visited beaches and deserts, glaciers and waterfalls. I met people from around the world and attended teachings with His Holiness the 14th. Dalai Lama
I was in the U.S. and played at Disney, Universal and MGM Studios, flew a single engine at the Grand Cannyon and had a great time in Las Vegas.
I was a volunteer in an indigenous village in Brazil where I learned about simplicity and preservation of culture.
I changed jobs a few times to follow my heart and work with what makes me feel more alive.
I've danced in front of the mirror, ate too much chocolate, I had drunk once and told jokes, I spent seven days without sleep because the parties were already very well and also slept 26 hours and woke up thinking I had only slept two
I was in really bad shows, and enjoyed myself like crazy, and I've been in shows whom I adored, and I slept so tired of standing.
I spend hours with friends, and quiet days in in absolute silence to practice Vipassana meditation (it´s realy amazing!).
I laughed, cried and laughed again...
And the most important: I got married and decided to live the adventure of life with someone else to.
