CURRENT MISSION

Improve myself and help people to dream bigger and reach their dreams.

ABOUT ME

I am a simple, positive person. I like to put my feet on the ground, practice sports, cook healthy vegetarian food, be in nature, meditate and share the good moments of life with friends. I want to be a better person and achieve harmony between body, mind and soul, and I am doing that mainly by following the Yoga teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.

I'm married and want to have children soon :)

PHILOSOPHY

Spirituality is what guides me. I believe that human being and everything in the earth are deeply connected, so we should take care of everything that exist in our planet and protect life.

Please, mention the word "Meditation" if you want a couch so I know that you read my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was at my hometown I used to show the city to my guests, but now because of my limited spare time I can offer a good talk while we eat at home or at the local cafe. If it in the weekends, we can surf or do some outdoor activity, like playing football, running, walking or anything that you and I like to do. I have a stand up paddle board that we can use to paddle at the beautiful Lagoa da Conceição.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost every couchsurfing experience is unforgettable. Even when It seems that you will be only giving a place for someone to stay, you meet a very special person. I keep being surprised by people, remembering that humans are, after all, a lovely being.

Interests

Sports (mainly football, kayaking, swimming, stand up paddle, running, biking, tracking), Yoga, meditation, SRF, eastern spiritual philosophy, Tai chi chuan, traveling, different cultures, music, ecology and sustainability, dancing forró.

I also like to play acoustic guitar and sing out loud! That is a wonderful and quick way of letting go anything bad inside me and to feel good, happy and relaxed.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
The book that changed my life is "Autobiography of a yogi", by Paramahansa Yogananda.

I love to read Chico Buarque, a brazilian musician and writer. If you are learning Portuguese, I recommend you his book "Leite derramado", just to be delighted by the most beautiful narrative of the Portuguese language.

Some of the books I most liked:
Gandhi's Autobiography
Zorba the greek
Dan Brown books
Jô Soares books
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

Music
I am very eclectic. I like rock, MPB, forró, blues, jazz, samba. It is difficult to chose one band or singer. Some of my favorites are:
Foo Fighters
Engenheiros do Hawaii
Led Zeppelin
The Strokes
Chico Buarque
Caetano Veloso

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India in a spiritual pilgrimage for one month. It was the most intense, profound and incredible experience that I've ever had.

I've bungee jumped twice, flew paragliding

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese, guitar and the real Brazilian football techniques :)

I'm a life/career coach, so I can give you one coaching session if you are interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you come home, we can paddle at the lake near my house (I have a kayak and a SUP board). Also, if you like running or tracking, bring your shoes!
