ABOUT ME

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I just moved to Buzios and it's unbeliavable!! =)

PHILOSOPHY

"A man needs to travel. By his means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his. For some day planting his own trees and giving them some value. To know the cold for enjoying the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter for being well under his own roof. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know for breaking this arrogance that causes us to see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it." (Amyr Klink - Brazilian sailor and writer)

****************
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain

****************************************
Vai menina, fecha os olhos. Solta os cabelos. Joga a vida. Como quem não tem o que perder. Como quem não aposta. Como quem brinca somente. Vai, esquece do mundo. Molha os pés na poça. Mergulha no que te dá vontade. Que a vida não espera por você. Abraça o que te faz sorrir. Sonha que é de graça. Não espere. Promessas vão e vem. Planos, se desfazem. Regras, você as dita. Palavras, o vento leva. Distancia, só existe pra quem quer. Sonhos se realizam, ou não. Os olhos se fecham um dia, pra sempre. E o que importa você sabe, menina. eh o quão isso te faz sorrir. E só. "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
