CURRENT MISSION

I'm using photography and music to know myself better. My personal mission is develop and keep my creative energy alive.

ABOUT ME

I'm very happy to be alive, I love to sing, to take pictures, to travel and to make new friends. I live in Madrid since 2011 and I'm very happy with the experience of living in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Being happy its a choice, I want to receive everything good life can give me.
I try to follow the 4 commitments described by Don Miguel Ruiz:
- I try not to take anything personal
- not to interpretate
- I try to do everything I have to do the best way I can (not more, not less, 100%)
- I try not to say names, not to complain about life, people (yes, I believe words have power)
Training these commitments help me to keep my energy clean and positive. In other words, I keep connected to myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made friends in France and had a great time, CS it's a good opportunity to know interesting people. I also had a great time in Berlin at the house I stayed, thanks to couchsurfing. I met a sweet american girl in Madrid who was moving to Brazil and wanted to learn portuguese. We helped with other with English and Portuguese classes and it was a fnatastic experience. I'm looking forward to have more great experience with CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't live without Brazilian music. I sing samba and bossa nova and play the guitar. I love to find places to listen to good music when I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiences in my life I won't forget include teaching photography to a group of deaf people in Modern Art Museum of Sao Paulo and to a group of young people that live in Paraisopolis, a favela in Sao Paulo.

Travel to Amazonia and Lençóis Maranhenses (http://vimeo.com/8867443) was really amazing.

New York, San Francisco and Buenos Aires are good memories too.
I tell a lot of my experiences in my personal blog (in portuguese): http://cantodeolhares.wordpress.com/
