About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm no sailor, I want to rock the boat

ABOUT ME

I was born in Rio and lived here all my life. I'm a simple person, usually positive, like to joke and laugh a lot. I am perceptive, open-minded and cool-headed person, and I like to see the world through different eyes. I love to go out, dance, drink, meet new people and specially to have friends over. No need to say that travelling is also a passion... hosting and meeting travellers is the best way to do it when we can't leave home. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it."
