About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel all around the world, meet lots of people, learn lots of languages and understand different cultures (to finally see that we are all the same in the end)

ABOUT ME

I like to go deep in what I do, and I love to teach and learn. I have a lots of hobbies, and I keep acquiring new ones. I specially like to dance, draw, capoeira and play instruments. I also love yoga and all the philosophy behind it. I like to read a lot, think a lot about things in life, and talk about it too. I think that we should be nice to people around us, even if we don't know them... I see everyone as my neighboor in this world, so why shouldn't we be nice to each other? I like to start my days smiling, and laughing too.I love to practice sports and feel my body alive. i want to travel and see every corner of the world, and I know that I'll visit each place at the right time. I am passionate about life, sometimes I feel like life is a big swimming pool, and I want to dive as further as I can, seeing all the beautiful things and feeling the great feeling during the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for those who waste it with bad feelings, such as anger, sadness and frustration. Life is just amazing for those who can see the beauty and the miracles in it. Every day I am glad to live, to learn more, and to make others people's life better. I want to make a difference, be able to create something new, experience all types of art and innovate. I want to be the difference, to make the difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I made my couchsurfing profile because I loved the idea. I have been an exchange student in 2005, and it is just so great to feel like we are all connected, that someone is willing to host you and show you around. I haven't used it a lot lately because I am figuring it out, but I want to get the chance to meet people that come to Sao Paulo and show them around, and also meet people when I travel around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen so many amazing things... but well, I have experienced some 'miracles'. since I was young I feel very lucky, I was chosen to go to a tv program with my school, something like a quiz, and I won it, even not knowing the answers, it seemed like everything conspired for my victory. than a little bit later I won a scholarship to study in the US for one year, but I didnt look for it, it just showed up in front of me. I also have been in some beautiful gatherings of alternative communities, where I see love between people in a different way. I have been in 2 spiritual courses, the first was 10 days meditating and not talking, and the other one 21 days living only with prana. In this 2 experiences my life has changed, specially because I saw the power that our mind and beliefs have in our life and our course.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach. I try to teach ballroom dance (like lindy hop and forro) to my friends. I also like to teach yoga and all that is involved in it (because it is not all about the exercise, this is the first step). I am an English teacher to 3-5 years old kids, so I love to teach and learn how to teach them, how to tell stories and use our imagination. I also love arts and create drawings and paintings with others.
