Hey! My name is Marcelo and I'm brazilian. I live in Praia da Silveira, in the state of Santa Catarina, in Brazil. I'm living on this paradise since 2009 and I decided to build a house in the middle of the trees, in front of the sea. Since then, I'm living with my chow chow dog "Ankh".

I love surfing and Silveira beach is one of the best beaches for this sport in Brazil. I chose to have a susteinable lifestyle, so then I plant my own food in my garden and often I can fish in front of my house. I like to hiking in between the forest to find waterfalls and plenty nature.

Garopaba, and Silveira beach, stays about 50 miles south from Florianópolis, where the airport is located.

To come here you should pick up a bus or call me to schedule a ride from the bus station.
