CURRENT MISSION

TRAVEL, DANCE, LAUGH! ...with COLOURS :D

ABOUT ME

My friends call me LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and say that "LATIN BLOOD" flows through my veins :D I consider myself: Extremely Curious and Interested, Passionate, Vital & Full of Energy, Crazy, Talkative, Fast Thinker & Philosoph, an Autodidact, Reflected, Good-Hearted, Motivated, Spontaneous, Open-Minded, Tolerant,

but... when I am on holidays... I am laaaazy and I like to relax and sleep. Calm rhythm! The energy has to come from somwhere, guys! :p

What characterises me: Genuine & Hearty Laughter, LIBERTY, Travels, Communication, Change, Variety, Life, Energy!

My profession: ...well, that's a good one... I actually have a German Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and I studied Business Administration (MBA), but... living 3 years abroad... gettin' out of society's tunnel... made me realize that I don't want to work in a company "nine to five" during my best years, retire and then die. I don't like bosses (hierarchie!) anyway and I don't like work schedules. So, I decided to become a CRIATOR! Since then, I study everything that has to do with Business, Finances and StartUps. I still don't know what I'll become "when I grow up", but it has to combine the following areas: travelling, creativity, communication, work with people (groups), promote inspiring and revolutionary ideas, diversity (changing tasks), liberty = self-determination... and last but not least: pay off veeeeery well!

PHILOSOPHY

- If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go TOGETHER! (African Proverb)

- Don't take the road that everyone takes. Take your own COLOURFUL road full of adventures.

- Those who were seen DANCING were thought to be insane... by those who could not hear the music.

Interests

I can't live without DANCING: Forró (= Brazilian Pair Dance) and Hip Hop / Street Dance! Check out my Dancing Video on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luOuMU_6WAs)

I love COLOURS! Shiny, bright, vibrant COLOURS! (Street Art)

I am interested in People and their Stories!

Participating in a Biodanza Group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodanza) in Floripa (Brasil) changed my life! Biodanza creates in you a positive and welcoming attitude towards life. You can find Biodanza Groups all over the world.

I love Nature... And Spending time outside "in the green"... Charlie Chaplin is one of my true idols...
I adore Brasil, especially the Magical Island Florianópolis!

I basically spend my money on two things that are very important to me: Travelling and Coffees with Friends!

I enjoy "Day-to-Day-Philosophy": I like to use my own Brain and Ask Questions!

I love: Colourful Metropolitans (Barcelona is my No. 1)... Mosaic!... Red Wine ("Piriquita" from Portugal)... Açai (Brazilian Fruit Sorbet)... Massages (receive and give)... Philosophy (Osho)... Healthy & Nutritious Homemade Food... Meditation... Cappuccinos... Caipirinhas (and other cocktails)... Chocolate (although I want to get that addiction under control)...

I am interested in Finances and the Stock Market, always with a critical point of view though (I highly recommend the Documentary "Inside Job").
