About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to feel more often the rain ..

ABOUT ME

I've been trying to discover myself, re-mold and start to care less about things that doesn't matter and enjoy life. I am happy, outgoing, friendly, curious about different cultures, languages, places and be awarded, I talk a lot!
I've done and keep doing pretty much lots of things in life. I am a kinda of person who prefers doing presents moreover than only buying them.
I was swimmer once, for five years. I was au pair twice, for 11 months and for 15 days. I don't remember anything with the number three. I lived abroad four times. I've never broken any bones I got some stitches in life though. I love traveling and meeting and re-seeing people.
I don't believe in coincidence. Neither in Santa Klaus. I think that everything is meant to be -- somehow :)

PHILOSOPHY

life is too short to be avoiding it.

it makes me sad to know that some people are only too afraid to live, to travel, to talk to their neighbor even!

Some people ask me how can I be always happy? the only thing that I know is that I am a bad singer but I do sing, that I am a clumsy dancer but I do dance on my way, that I am a kinda crazy because some people are too serious! I smile on the street to strangers and get smiles back, I help people when they need (even when they don't ask for help.. scarring some of them). I laugh alone thinking about something funny in the middle of the street or on the bus, I live each moment on its uniqueness..

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy MOVIES and going to movies! I can't say which is my favorite, so.. I enjoy: After the rain, L'Auberge Espagnole, Les pieds dans le vide, Tropa de Elite I and II, and it goes on.

I am very opened mind about SONGS. I can classify it as: to clean the house: Jack Johnson - music to relax: Void's Anatomy or Mallu Magalhães - music to remember: Malajube; Richard Desjardins, Shakira, Les chansons d'amour and, actually, I am in love with the soundtrack of the movies Juno and Across the Universe.

I can't remark only one amazing thing that I've ever seen.. I love Lake Louise area,in BC - Canada. I am so much in love with all that I've seen in Alaska. I love Chile and the Andes. The Utah National Parks are awesomely amazing. There are lots of amazing spots where I live. So many different beauties in this blue planet, why to chose only one?
