ABOUT ME

English
Português

I am a happy person trying to maximize the positive energy inside and around me - it´s not always easy, but I do what I can.

I hardly ever worry about anything, am easygoing, and try to live in the moment.

I am a person you can count on, and one of my main philosophies is to be nice to every being on this planet.

Furthermore, I am very adventurous. For the last years, I have been travelling quite a bit, mostly when winter sets in in Denmark. I am not a big fan of cold and dark weather :)

Sou uma pessoa com boa energia, tentando fazer escolhas que me levem a uma vida mais positiva, mais equilibrada.

Em vez de me preocupar e reclamar, tento achar uma solução para os "problemas" no meu mundo. Aprendi muito nos ultimos anos, e hoje sou uma pessoa muito mais positiva, livre e social do que alguns anos atras.

E sempre vou ficando "melhor", mesmo que haja desafios as vezes. Mas o que são desafios, senão apenas oportunidades para fazer escolhas que nos levam ao proximo nivel?!

PHILOSOPHY

Every moment in life you have a choice.

If something makes you suffer, get rid of it/stop doing it.

Change, even if it can seem frightening, is always better than keeping on doing stuff that doesn't make us happy.

Do what you love to do, and you will be on the right track. The universe will take you on the journey of your life!

A cada momento temos escolhas infinitas.

Se algo te faz sofrer, te desapega desse algo, seja o que for.

Mudança pode ser/aparecer dificil, mas sempre vai nos deixar melhor do que continuar fazendo algo que não nos faz feliz.

Faça o que você ama, cada segundo que puder. Assim, o universo vai te dar a melhor viagem que se pode imaginar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at a few couchsurfers' places so far - they were all great!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to host anybody.

I have also been to a few gatherings in Denmark.

Usei CS algumas poucas vezes em viagens, e conheci pessoas fenomenais.

Infelizmente não tive a oportunidade de oferecer um lugar para outras pessoas.

Também participei de alguns encontros de CS na Dinamarca.

Interests

I love to get out in nature. I feel free when I am in natural surroundings, especially if I can walk barefoot or climb trees etc.

I love to learn new things!
One of my big interests is health, in particular nutrition and cooking. In the last many years, I have gathered a lot of information in that area. Anyhow, I don't always eat the way I "should", for various reasons.
In a way I am beginning to realize that maybe our thoughts are more powerful than what we do in the physical world - maybe I can decide if food is good or bad for me by the way I think about it?

This and other spiritual questions are becoming more and more important for me and I love to talk about that stuff with other people.

Besides that, I am very interested in sustainability, becoming self-sufficient, permaculture, call it what you want.

Furthermore, I like all kinds of sports, especially capoeira, bodyweight training, inline skating and beach volleyball.

And of course I like to meet new people, especially those that, like me, think that there is more to life than watching television and working a lot in order to buy stuff!

My future path is to try to get closer to a life where I am not depending on governments and corporations and the like, so I am in a transition period with the goal of living self-sustainable, eating real food, getting away from the majority of toxic stuff (and ideas) we humans have accumulated, and hopefully I will find likeminded people on my journey!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many, and I'm learning to see and apreciate them more and more.

Tem muitas. Estou aprendendo a perceber e apreciar essas coisas cada vez mais.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any of the 4 main languages I speak: English, German, Danish, Brazilian Portuguese. I love to teach and learn languages, and I work as a language instructor.

I have gathered a lot of information about nutrition and health. Unfortunaly, a lot of what is taught in universities and in the media, is mainly being taught for political/economical reasons.

If you are interested in sourdough bread, I'd love to introduce you to the art of baking it, and I can give you some of my sourdough.

Posso ensinar os seguintes idiomas para quem estiver interessado: Inglês, alemão, dinamarques. Trabalho dando aulas de idiomas, e amo essa forma de troca de conhecimento e energia.

Aprendi muito sobre alimentação, e acho que hoje sei mais ou menos o que é saudavel e o que não. Infelizmente, o que aprendemos na mídia/escola/etc. muitas vezes é o contrário da verdade.

Quero aprender mais sobre música (tocar pandeiro e outras formas de percussão) e dança :)
