About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I travel to know my own geography

ABOUT ME

I live in São Paulo with Filipe, my boyfriend, and we like to host people from all over the world.

I'm mostly interested in art, photography, music and all related with our inner discoveries. I think each people is fascinating in some way. I also adore slow days under a nice blanket like, hanging around doing nothing, gardening and cooking and enjoying meals with friends.

We're interested in exchanging experiences about religions and other philosophies and cultures.

I work as a photographer and journalist and can share a little bit of it. We can also meditate together. I'm an astrology student and like to talk about all those misteries that surrounds us. Well, I'm open, easygoing and helpful :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Seu último dia de vida vai ser muito parecido com a vida que você teve"

"Your last day alive is going to be very similar to the life you had"

"Le derniere jour de sa vie sera un peu comme la vie que vous aviez"
