CURRENT MISSION

To be in the moment. If moment is not pleasant, to eat a cookie. If cookie is not available to try a handstand.

ABOUT ME

We are a family of 4, originally from Brazil, have lived in London for 5 years and now, 2014, we are living in Castelldefels, Spain. We are loving life here, much more relaxed and warmer than London! :)

Rodrigo and I, Veronica work with design, photography and illustration.

Rodrigo likes bikes, art, and computer stuff.

Alice is our almost 9 year old daughter. She is an easy-going and happy kid. She usually gets along with people of all ages and she is always busy with some project, like making bracelets or her latest construction on Minecraft.

I love yoga, coffee, beer, wine, acrobatics, hiking, biking, climbing, playing with my daughters, cake, cookies, headstands, handstands, free stuff, learning stuff, hugs, etc.

We like to do family programs together, be outside in nature, go to the plaza, to the beach or to the park. Or if it is cold, to museums, watch a movie, go see a play or eat with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Currently under construction. Not too attached to any point of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've given most of our stuff away and decided to move countries for the second time. To find our new home we traveled for one year staying with people exchanging work for food and accommodation, 2013- 2014. We've been to lots of places, met great people, and also during that time we learned better ways to be together, unschooled our daughter, learned new, free ways to have fun and enjoy life and the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to bake this brazilian dish called pão de queijo and share it with people who never had it before. It's so delicious!

Also I can teach some acroyoga.

And I am open to learning anything new and looking silly while doing it for the first time. :)
