Well, for me, since I start to think about what surrounds me, and when I realize that everything I do has an impact on something or on someone, I decided that I would try my best to improve myself has a human being.
That's why I've decided to go vegan, for instance.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, I play guitar and I sing as well. I had some bands on the past, that gave the oportunity to meet so many awesome people from the whole world. I've made a euro tour back in 2009 which was one of the most fullfilling experiences in my hole life.

I also really like cinema and tv-shows. I love good comic shows like "Friends", "Modern Family", "How I met your mother", "Family Guy". But in thermes of cinema I can see almost everything.

In therms of reading, I really would love to put some more time on that, but unfortunetely I don't read that much, but I'm working on that. Still, my favourite book is Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a volunteer in a ONG in Florianopolis, Brasil, and we were right in the middle of the forest. There were lot's of poison snakes and spiders, and before I went there, I was really scared about those kind of animals (actually I still am :p). But once, one Jararaca (poison snake) went inside the kitchen and I was the only man in the house that day, so I had to do something, even if I was scary to death. So I pick up a bambu (a really long one) and I start to try to put the snake inside a bucket so I could release her later in the forest, but far from where we were. I was abble to put the snake inside the bucket but soon she notice she was inside it, she quickly jumped out. In the end she left the kitchen by her own, and we never saw her again. It was probably the most scary and exciting moment I had in my hole life :)
