About Me

Natural born Traveler.

After living in Brazil for 30 years, I decided to move to Australia, where I spent one of the best 6 years of my life.
Time passed by and then I’ve found myself moving out again to Madrid, Spain.
Lovely 5 years of my life.
Enjoying my Sabbatical year (2022-2023)

Just doing my part for a better world; sharing the love and real stories.

Lively, active, whole-hearted, energetic, passionate, creative. And I can cook as well. :)

PHILOSOPHY
Think differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna learn more, travel more, know more interesting people.
I want to listen adn share stories.

Interests

Tourism, trips and Adventure Sports.
I'm a very enthusiastic guy, with lots of dreams.
I really appreciate intelligent and interesting people, that speaks the right words in the right time and have good stories to tell.
I love a good conversation. Smiles and laughs suits everywhere. Going out for a drink and celebrate with friends; simple things makes me happy.
News are my fuel. I use to try at maximum get away from any kind of routine.
I like volunteer jobs, I'm a blood donor, and I love social work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve donated blood in 4 different countries; I’ve slept in a castle (real one); I always bring the sun with me on my trips; I survived a stray dog bite in Morocco; I saw the Great Barrier Reef; I’ve met one of the oldest persons of the planet; I saw an Aurora Boreal; I survived after 62 sea urchin spines on my foot; I worked on the top of the tallest building of Australia and I can drink a whole bottle of wine by myself of a Spanish Menu.

The most important thing is to live.
We were born to taste, try and experiment.
There's no surrender, no regret. Let's look forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

Para as coisas importantes
For what it worth
nunca é tarde demais.
Never is too late.
Ou no meu caso, muito cedo...
Or in my case, too early...
Para sermos quem queremos.
To be whoever you wanna be.

Não há um limite de tempo, comece quando quiser.
There's no time limit, start whenever you want.
Você pode mudar ou não.
You can change or stay the same.
Não há regras para isso.
Have no rules to this thing.

Nós podemos fazer o melhor ou o pior da vida.
We can make the best or the worst of.
Espero que você faça o melhor.
I hope you make teh best of it.

Espero que veja as coisas que a assustem.
I hope you see things that startle you.
Espero que sinta coisas que nunca sentiu antes.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
Espero que conheça pessoas com diferentes opiniões.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
Espero que viva uma vida da qual se orgulhe.
I hope you live a life you proud of.
E se você achar que não, espero que tenha a força
para começar novamente.
And if you find that it not, I hope you have the strenght to start over again.
