About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know different people from different cultures and bring them the nicest brazillian experience!

ABOUT ME

My friends would say that the thing I love most in this life, is travelling and studying.

They would say that I'm constantly dreaming awake, so it's really difficult to get bored, always looking for new stuff to do, to learn, to read, to climb, to trail, to camp, to do.

That I'm always awake till very late, or when the sun is rising I'm already awake...

That I'm the kind of person that is constantly talking, about everything, that just love a nice chat.

They would say that I'm always late and I'd have several problems in England, haha!

Travelling for me is a way to refresh my mind, to review everything I need to change. To feel alive knowing new cultures, people and places. It's a therapy.

PHILOSOPHY

"Não trate os sentimentos alheios com irresponsabilidade e não tolere aqueles que agem de forma irresponsável com os seus"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I went to NYC and I realized one of my dreams: Knowing the United Nations. I used to study International Relations at College. I got paralyzed when I arrived the building. And when I walked in, I felt like time did not exist. Really hard to explain, was an amazing experience for me.

When I saw snow for the first time in Northern Michigan that is such a paradise. The first day I arrived lake Michigan was liquid, and in a week it was all frozen, and was walking on it. Was amazing to feel nature's power. I was delighted with that view.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm Buddhist and when it, most people ask me if Buddha is a God or a Saint. There a no such things in Buddhism. There were several Buddhas in history, they were our masters. We are all potential Buddhas. It's a life state that we must achieve. To achieve that we just need to be human, all the time, like refuting evil with knowledge and lead other to do the same, not being indifferent when facing it. Treat everyone as human being in the same level, not better, not worse, just human beings that need your respect even if is a really bad one.

The Universe is conducted by the Law of Cause and Effect. And that is what Karma is all about.

Achieving Buddha state isn't easy, but... What's easy in this life? That's why is so pure.
