ABOUT ME

I've been changing a lot really fast, and I like that I'm not a static, always-the-same person.

The latest things I've heard about myself and considered to be true were "a good listener" and "interested in people, no matter who". I think it's true because try to free myself of all prejudice and (gender/age/ethnicity-related) preconceptions, as well as to communicate with different people.

UPDATE: I've been hearing a lot that I'm "different." Not sure if that matters, but I might as well have it here.

I'm currently trying to figure out what I want to do for life and how to get there. I'm also changing what I eat to a healthier, more in harmony with nature diet (currently vegetarian/mostly vegan, mostly gluten and sugar free). I've been quite a bit into personal development as well, in both reading and implementing :)

Besides that, I find labeling quite a restrictive thing, so I wouldn't want to use that on myself.

This is definitely not all, but we can get there when we talk :)

Interests

I'm interested in people! Meeting new friends, sharing thoughts and learning from everyone :)

I'm also interested in improving myself, body, mind and spirit. That means reading, yoga, meditation, biking, or whatever you might suggest.

Besides that, I'm into web design, online businesses, language and cultural exchange (who isn't?), photography, hugging (!) and a lot of other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to watch lots of TV shows - until I decided it was a terrible use of my time. I don't watch much TV now, but I still hold very dear Bewitched, Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and Sherlock. Any of those would be a good conversation starter :P

Music - whatever sounds good, really :) crazy about random impromptu music, small circle of friends and all that + I would love to learn how to play anything

UPDATE: I fell in love with Handpans (Google it!) and I now travel with an Orbi #1 while I try to learn music (it sounds good even though I'm still a music illiterate!)

Books - I mostly read informational/non-fiction stuff now, but, of course, I love the good old Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meditating in silence for 10 days (: UPDATE: now twice. Google "Vipassana" if you're curious!

Teach, Learn, Share

Truth be said, I currently believe I have a lot to learn and very little to teach, so I'd be glad to listen to you talk about your life passion (or any other big interest). I can listen, check if I understood and provide additional questions :P

I can teach you how to meditate and some yoga stuff. I can also help you write emails that people will love receiving :P

And of course, help you out with your Portuguese/English, in case you're working on that :^)

And I can always share good and healthy vegan/gluten-free food with anyone :)
