About Me

MY CURRENT MISSION

Moved in 2017 to Sydney, Australia. I still feel so excited to get to know more about beautiful country, and also meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and helpful. Love helping friends planning their own trips. And i love plan my own trips too. I fly whenever that it is possible. I like meeting new cultures, and different people.

PHILOSOPHY

There is this quote that i love, and i know it in portuguese, so i just translated:

"If you tell yourself that you are willing to embrace what life has, of good and also bad, the fear diminishes. At some point it becomes necessary to leave the paved road and venture on an unknown route less secure, just to remember what it is to feel fear, and why. And come back with the answer that will give us the courage needed to move forward: we discovered that fear is just a lame excuse to stay in the same place."

Listening to rock and pop music usually. But i love new discoveries like local musics when im travelling around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

August 2012 i went to Turkey, one of the best trips of my life. Me and my best friend we went to Cappadocia to have the balloon flight, and it was amazing!! The view and that feeling are unforgettable.
