About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I believe that my mission on this existence is to connect pepople, changing experiences, learning and teaching with everyone or everything. Every little action, there is a reaction, so if you leads that into a good thing, you can move mountains everyday.

ABOUT ME

wowww that's a grueling task, but I can say that our life is in a constant movement and all your luck and success depends on your enforcements to be dignified for it. I've been doing things wich I consider good to other people not thinking about calculated results and I can say that these other results have being the best ones. Of course you have to be organised to plan all your steps in this life, but when you are not waiting for something special, that's when marvelous things can happen.
I like good music, the sun, the sea... good friends, family... people with good humor, synchronicities, the unknown, women... sports as soccer, surf, slackline, swimming, cycling...
I appreciate the respect with the other and with the next generations, which means nature.
I love to travel, to see new people with different accents in completely different places, with their own experiences about their world. You got to be ok with yourself to transmit it naturally to the universe.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that GOD is our good intentions. I'm not a religious man properly speaking, never did, but with these nowadays rush I think we have to pay attention in our breathing and analyse the little signs around. The best way I found to proper execute that is through the slackline which is an analogy of life, when every step on the line have to get valued and you have to keep your concentration in concern with your breathing to achieve the balance and conscious we got to be in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share a flat with 2 friends in my city, we have the same age 36, and we are eventually traveling by our jobs. To host someone I'd have to depend them to approve. I can say that in this point they are a bit conservative and would have to consult them about it. Even if I liberate my room, they would have to share the house so that's when I think we could have a problem. I don't agree with it, but I don't live alone at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had never heard about Couchsurfing before the last World Cup based in Brazil and having Poro ALegre as host city. I had the opportunity to meet people from every continent and some of them told about Couchsurfing. Now I'm going to California first time in my life and I woul like to meet good people on the road! I would like to be on a place with young minded people who knows how to enjoy life. It doesn't mean that you have to drink or smoke all the time, but if you could balance these things with new adventures, friendship, good laughs and good music will be great.

Interests

I'm looking for new friends who could host me for few days (3 to 5 days only) that like to have fun which doesn't mean commit excess all the time, drinking and smoking everything everytime (but sometimes will be amazing), and people with their own experiences that would like to share it in a magical 4 or 5 day accomodation-exchange, that's what I beleieve is a good experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

rock ans roll have influenced many things in my life. I'm brazilian but I hav always heard english and american music in my house. For me it influenced all of the other arts as cinema, dance, circus, sports... I appreciate every kind of artistic expression which comes truly from your own. I like all classic rocks and culture from sixties and seventies as Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Who, Janis Joplin but understand and admire all the rock roots from Motown, black music and his derivatives which includes all the other styles as reggae, hard rock or even pop music. I'm not the kind of person that goes to the cinema once a week... I go once in a year hehehe, but this is just because I'm always doing something, properly actively than passively. The same reason I don't use to read to much as well, I prefer for example take my guitar and play, sometimes tryng to compopse new songs or sometimes being nostalgic tryind to learn how to play good old songs. Even doesn't watching much movies or reading the last best sellers I think I have good histories of life. Let it be!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been practicing slackline for just 2 years and now I am in process to be able to cross a highline which was a dream since the beginning of the practice. I had a small accident dismantling the system. A 250 kg stone droped on my my big toe. In a month I'll be good ok, but I've learnt that I have to be more careful and pay 10 times more attention doing it. I tought I was give up after that, but I have to look for information and keep on my head fresh to practice this extreme sport.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are learning all the time... since we can we have to share what we know, thats the difference between the student and the disciple. Knowledge is to be passed to the others. The water has to flow...
