Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Our MISSION is to mine precious stones from within each person's HEART and place them in the SUN. And the SUN will take charge of activating these stones and making them SHINE.
Nowdays I am living in the countryside nearby the Atlantic forest located in the buffer zone of Serra da Bocaina National Park where we hold meditation and yoga retreats, cultivating agroforestry and a simple lifestyle in harmony with Mother nature.
My passion is to travel and live in the places I visit. I have had the opportunity to live in London, kibbutz in Israel, Rishikesh and Chiang Mai. I´ve learned in my pilgrimages in India, Nepal, Myammar, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia to be in tune with existence, to observe the river of my life and to align myself with his flow with Dhamma.
We practice yoga and meditate every single day :)
Be very welcome in our home!
Namaste /\
"In a pilgrimage, at every step,
You are approaching God
And with every step you take toward Him,
Ten steps are taken from Him toward you.
When the road ends
And the goal is fulfilled,
The pilgrim feels that he has traveled
Only of himself to himself,
And that the God that we find
It was all the time inside us,
Around us, with us
And beside us " (Sathya Sai Baba)
ABOUT ME
An easy-going person, talk active, curious, peaceable... interested to meet people from everywhere making friends for the whole life.
I used to live in London and Israel when I had the opportunity to travel around the Europe, South america, North America, Turkey, Egypt, India, Nepal, Myammar, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia...
I have been making several expeditions by car in Brazil and South America and the last one I drove for 18.000 km in Patagonia region until Ushuaia. Such amazing landscapes!
My last trip to Europe I did the Camiño de Santiago! Great experience of detachment
I am looking forward to meet travelers who live the present moment as today were the last day of their lives

PHILOSOPHY
I think everyone should to travel on his own, not through stories, images, books or Netflix!
Travel by yourself, with his own eyes and feet, to understand who are u. Grow your own trees someday, and value them. Know the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. Experience the distance and the lack of shelter to feel well under yours own ceiling.
Also I thing we need to travel to places we never been to break our arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply like it is or it may be; that makes us teachers and doctors of what we didn't see, when we should be students, and simply go see.
Be simple... go further... never give up... reach your dreams.
