"...I love not Man the less, but Nature more"(Lord Byron). Said to be versatile, gentle, easygoing, bla bla bla... I just dream and go for it.

*** I'm currently in Lisbon where I can host you in my motorhome at Marina Parque das Nações***
*** If you want to be my guest please send me a personal request explaining why ***

Started career as a regular person, working for a multinational company in the US, average routine. Always felt that I was on the wrong "tribe". Found my way out of the system and begun to drive my efforts to what I really believe. Now I live as off-grid as possible.

Courious, open minded, I believe that It would be very unfair if we could dream with all the creative power of our mind and not turn it into reality. We would be originally frustrated. Nature is so perfect, so balanced. Everything is possible!

Life is a gift and this world has plenty of wonderful places, culture and enchanting people to discover. To sense and share all this positive energy is always rewarding, feeds our souls.

Between Portugal and Brazil our family try to enjoy freedon as much as possible, living in a sailboat, or a motorhome, house, sometimes everybody together, sometimes taking turns with the kids...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why did I took so long to discover it? I take all connections as opportunities to "raise" both sides. There is always something to learn, share, balance. I'm exited to meet unknown people and exchange culture, way of live, places, tastes, music, believes. Treat them the same way I would like to be treated, with respect and open heart. Try new experiences without prejudices, breaking concepts. Discover life from someone else's point of view. Shelter and feel sheltered. Love! Make my best to have such a special time with unforgettable friends. Positively surprise and be surprised. Enjoy pleasures that money can't buy.

I keep a house in São Jose dos Campos-Brazil, apartments in Lisbon and a Motorhome also in Lisbon-Portugal. I may host you on either places whenever available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Abandoned my career as a banker and lived aboard a sailboat cruising from South Africa to Brazil, Caribbean and the Mediterranean up to Greece. Found alternative ways to sustain and enjoy this life. Lost the fear of following different paths, to be the captain of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, tastes, health, believes, recipes, feelings, and my most valuable asset: Time! Everything else material will be generously shared as a consequence.
May host friends at my house in São José dos Campos-Brazil, apartment(when vacant) in Lisbon or motorhome in Lisbon-Portugal

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share my story, good humour and good willing. Listening. Joing for daily duties, special projects, challenges. From house keeping to comanding a sailboat, cooking, partying, fixing things, playing acoustic guittar, piano (hardly audible) or simply enjoy the silence...
