Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Our planet is amazing, our family is huge! I wanna learn from it and take care of it.
ABOUT ME
I love traveling(crazy who dont)! I'm always up for a new adventure. Being in the nature, the wild, is what I like most. That´s why I love climbing, surfing, treking, snorkeling (I hadn't dive yet, but surely I go crazy when I do it!). I feel one with the nature when I do those things. I like to learn new languages, even more when in the place it's spoken. I like reading. I think everyone can teach you a lesson, and we are here to learn. I also love teaching what I know. We are here for teaching too. And I love parting! Life must be celebrated!
PHILOSOPHY
We are here for learning someting. We are here to remember that we are all One. We are here to be happy, to be friends, to help each other. The seeds you plant becomes the fruits you eat, so choose what you gonna plant.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I live in a really nice city, there are lots of activities to do here. Nature is beautiful here, you can treking, climbing, paragliding, caving, go to a waterfall, go to a pub, a club. I'd love to have people from everywhere in my place to show then the good things we could do here. I teach Yoga and I'd love to teach everybody I got to know.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It wasn't through this site, but once I met Kaz, a canadian guy, in the gym where I work. He was staying in my city, a bit lost, no friends, and spending a lot of money in a hotel. We talked a lot, I showed him many places in the city, we went to a bar where my friends were, he got to know everybody. I invited him to stay at my house, he stayed here for two weeks. I think I helped him to make a better trip, and I made another good friend.
Interests
I like sports, even more ecosports. I like yoga, massage, I love animals, of all kinds (although I'm still striving to make a friendship with the sharks!). I recently got intereted in herbs and its properties. I'm also studing Ayurveda, indian medicine. I love juggling as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like many kinds of music, reggae (stell pulse, bob, burning spear), rock (from red hot to frank zappa), eletronic.
Movies: Brazilian movies are awesome!
Books: I'd recomend 3 books, my favorites: "Tuareg", a story about the people of the Saara; "Autobiography of a Yogi", it's going to tell you amazing things about India and its misteries; and there's an other one called Jaque Mate from Jostein Gaarden, author of Sophie's World, really good too; I also love Jorge Amado, a brazilian autor, he writes mainly about Bahia, a place I love.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Once I was surfing at Ubatuba, on the coast of São Paulo, and a big group of dolphins (really big, like 15 dolphins!) crossed my way. That was amazing! Those animals are so beautiful and pure, it looked like they were playing, jumping out of the water! An unbelivable day! And just minutes before I had seing a huge turtle. That place is magic!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach about Phisiology, anathomy (that's not boring OK!), Yoga, phisical and mental training, how to make good dreadlocks, juggling.
I'd like to learn more languages, more about other people culture.
