About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I was living with a partner that was not open to hosting surfers, we recently split, so I would love to host again!! as of March 2019

ABOUT ME

I was born in Brazil, and moved to Canada as an 11 y/o.
Have always been interested in travelling and cycling... On my twenty-eighth year, I decided that I should combine both passions. Along the planning, I joined forces with Canadian not-for-profit organization, Bikes Without Borders amongst other supporters, to finally hit the road southbound along the eastern coast of N. America. I searched and found a sail boat the took me from the Florida Keys, to Cuba, around Cuba then to Roatan in Honduras. After which I hooped the boat and continued me trek to the capital, Tegucigalpa. There I found my journey came to a completion, after 9 months of travel I flew home.

I spend a years and a half living and travelling in the south-west of the US. However I had a different intention, which was to explore, learn/practice permaculture and Intentional community living...

Since returning from South-west in 2012, I've been Toronto based and got initiated in Stilt-walking, I have made it my profession and started a Stilt Drumming Group in 2014. Nowadays I have a Stilt Entertainment agency. check out the site www.Laloland.com

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the best way to change the world is through person to person connections. Empowering each other with active local communities.
Talk the talk, and also Walk the walk...
