About Me

I am a dreamer, and enthusiastic person! I laugh loud, I dance like crazy and if I am between latins, I talk loud too! :) I am quite honest and very straightforward in my communication!If I am sad or upset I can't hide it... unfairness, desequality, and machism can drive me crazy! But in general I am a very tolerant and understanding person! ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music!! Unfortunately I don't play any instrument, yet! ;) I love the so classified "world music".
Since I have been to India I also became very fond of bhajans (spiritual songs).
Jazz, blues, bossa nova, soul, indie, singer songwriters... Ben Howard, Moriarty, Sara Tavares, Neil Young, Nina Simone, Caetano Veloso...

Movies - Life is beautiful, Big Fish, Howl's moving castle, Sweet November, Frida, Amelie, Samsara, The motorcycle diaries...

A book that is always with me "Your body, speaks your mind" !My favourite genre of literature is magical realism, with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende and Laura Esquivel on my top list! Books that had changed my understanding of life, " A new earth" from Eckhart Tolle and "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn
