ABOUT ME

to tune in, without reverence, idly - ”but with real inward attention

PHILOSOPHY

earnestly learning lessons the world teaches.

the most important traits that i hope to have and think others should have are: truthfulness, sincerity, kindness, and sensitivity.

cultivating a sense of humor is a bonus, not to be weighed down by the small tragedies of life etc.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've surfed and hosted a little, across scandinavia, central, and eastern europe currently hosting from singapore.

as of now, i'll be in paris and switzerland for winter, scandinavia and then australia in summer 2013. I'm spending 7 weeks in central Japan for a pottery attachment in summer 2014 - trying to find a 'shokunin' to learn from, japanese for an artisan/master craftsman that also impliedly has a spiritual, material, and social consciousness of his work. Hoping to go to India in December 2014!

definitely with plans to do this through the CS community.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

observing familial love

living in the most beautiful farm on the wwoof project in hallbasar, sweden

my most memorable solo trip was to bali and getting to live with a host family, participating in all the hindu-animistic rituals, eating the amazing food, swimming in the biggest 8 degree spring-water waterfall alone. having all the time in the world to think and read. eating nasi goreng 3 times a day for a week like there was no tomorrow
