About Me

CURRENT MISSION

back to reality of working to pay for my travels

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the amazon part of Brasil and come from a family of 3. My brother and I work together as artists in the US and the rest of my family stay behind in Brasil. Like most brasilians, we love to have fun, party and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and do what makes you happy. Trust yourself and treat others as best as you can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to help others and build relationships and bridges among different people of the world one person at a time. I love to travel and feel the best way to see some place is to meet the locals so you can truly experience the culture for that place. I hope to do this and provide this for the people that come my way

Music, Movies, and Books

all kinds! def brasilian music but just about anything else. Unfortunately I dont get to read a lot as my hands are always in clay so music seems to be the medium of choice but I'm always open to suggestions and enjoy reading very much when time allows

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The amazon is one of the most important places I've ever seen. The balance of life and beauty. Done, I try to create art and express my self and experience life. Someday when I am independently wealthy (good luck as an artist =) I'd like to open a couple of foundations -one to help kids carry on the local art and traditions where i come from and the other some kind of NGO to preserve the Amazon even if at a small scale within my reach.

Teach, Learn, Share

Now that I have been in CS for a few months I start to realize just how cool it is. although I've only surfed a few times (for lack of opportunity not desire) but have met some very cool people along the way and more importantly have shared some wonderful moments and made memories. To me that's the greatest gift of CS
