About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Flying with the wind

ABOUT ME

Everyday i learn from life. I still an apprentice. And i learn by following most of the time my heart and doing the things i love.

When i was kid, I wanted to be a garbage-man because the truck was so cool and they were cleaning the city (So coool). I loved watching my grandmother cooking bread. With my friends, we played to catch tadpoles in the rivers and we manufactured home-Firecrackers.
Later, my teenage years took a groovy taste. I discovered art after stealing a box of paint at college. Everything changed and i started painting by walking in dark places.

Today, It's about a life ... where I love to listen the song of the trees at night. In the background, Billie Holidays vinyl is playing. I love watching sunrises and sunset while smoking cigarettes ... they are my meditation times. I love to contemplate the world. People. When night falls, i draw or write. I love to laugh. Thinking. Dreaming. I love the smell of paint. I love nature, flowers, good people. I observe people and life. I love to imagine what people think in the subway ... I love adventures.

I am a dreamer.

I am right now in a very interesting and inspiring moment of my life where i see life diferently.
My intuition drive me most of the time. I put passion in everything i do.

I love this idea that i walk trought life with love and lightness ... Opening my heart every day ... Opening my mind every day.
I'm a spiritual person ... A flying and independent soul ... And i cant live without others people experiences and spirits.
I love to escape ... Mentally or physically ... A travel is a travel ...

A description could be useless ... Lets meet and discover ...

PHILOSOPHY

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.

...

I march to the beat of my own drum

Music, Movies, and Books

The true life miss soundtrack !!! I'm a music addict with eclectic taste.
You can see me dancing as a crazy guy on "killing the name", smoking with Bob Marley, dreaming with CocoRosie, crying by listening Billie Holliday, taking the road with the Black Keys, Improvising some hiphop steps with Notorious BIG, Painting with Tom Waits, Walking with the Be Good Tanyas or taking inspiration with Miles Davis.

Also i have a long movies and book list ... Much inspiration !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cant even pick one thing from what i lived or discovered. Theres too many.
My two years of traveling and experimenting were just an amazing gift that i am glad i lived.

From all the surises i saw to all this people i met ... Everything was incredible.

I definetly think that the most incredible think is that i found my soul throught travel and art.
