About Me

(I'm answering the old version Couchsurfing.org topics in capital letters)

CURRENT MISSION
to live peacefully nearby the ocean and nature, to have my own house and plant what I eat (or buy directly from those who plant without poisons), while making music, drawings and movies! To contribute in other people's lives.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY:
Unconditional love, as much as possible.
Happiness.
Compassionate non-violent communication.

ABOUT ME
I express my love and curiosity creating songs, videos and drawing / painting.
I'm a brazilian from Salvador-Bahia. Queer girl.
