CURRENT MISSION

I want to use my body as a plane, to see the things from far, as they are, as I am.

ABOUT ME

It is a complex question, isn't it? But yes, it can be summed.
My name is Ivan. I often see myself wondering life. It never gave me an accurate answer, but I think it's better this way. I prefer to believe that there is never a correct answer. After all, what would be the correct? Diferent minds, diferents beliefs... We all carry an unique universe in our minds, it's amazing how things can be such rich of meanings!

Well, I'm a kind man, a little shy on the first meeting, open mind, nature lover, music lover (and sometimes a musician too) and recently I'm loving to take some pictures. I like the simple things of life and the imaterials things. I don't mind for appearances, if my hair is looking like a nest (sometimes it does) or if my clothes are dirty (usually with cafe). I do like changes and I'm in constant change!

PHILOSOPHY

Feelings, thoughts.. I try to balance them, cause they can't live without the other. I do it with all the other things, not confronting them. I do my best to follow the nature's perfection, with all the imperfections. I see the conflict as an essential evolving agent, combining diferences, creating equilibrium.

For me, life is not something with a beginning and an end. Life has already begun and are always ending, by transformations.

I try to walk on uncertain ways. On this manmade world, I try not to be so sure about the things that I see with my eyes and hear with my ears. I leave my intuition guide me, linked with my heart.

Interests

I'd like to share moments, meet different universes that each one carries to their lives. I believe that everyone and everything are already part of us, even before of the colision. I want to feel by surfing that we don't own nothing but ourselves, that the moments are the only things we can carry with our heart.

I also want to taste local food, coffees (I like much coffee), history from the city and from the host's family are also welcome! Enjoy places, parks, parties, take a walk, swim (I'm not that good on pools, but I can survive), or just a quiet moment in the house, a quick shopping at the market.

All things are welcome with good company. I do appreciate all kinds of people, costums, beliefs, cause I believe that all the beauty of this world is made by the diferences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can teach music, like playing guitar, deal with the instrument and the basic of theory, make breads, make power juices (named green juices), climbing trees, my language, and many other things that I consider normals to me, but can be new for you!

I can share opinions, ideas, life styles, tears, good and bad moments, crazy things, love, friendship and even the silence that I like much.

To learn, everything is welcome.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All my kindness and my days to share all the things we want.
