CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as i can and meet new people as much as i can! :)

ABOUT ME

I have a japanese descendance which makes people pretty confused when I say that I am a brazilian. I like to ride bikes a lot, I am always traveling by bike with some people.
Another thing that I like pretty much is photography, and in my pictures I am always trying to show what I feel and how nature is so amazing!

I lived one year in Hungary as an exchange student, some videos about my stay in there:

PHILOSOPHY

Cultural relativism: to understand others in terms of their own culture. Franz Boas, father of anthropology, taught to not see other cultures through your own cultural lens, but to view things as objectively as possible (though to be completely objective is impossible). I've been learning to be aware of my words and thoughts. Life experience is, indeed, everything i want.

I like to discover alternative places where i go. Skip the ordinary things and step right into the locals' attractions. To discover a new place i need to discover new people as well, since it retains the continuity of the change rather than continuity of the place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
