Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Follow your bliss, Joseph Campbell used to say. I am following my bliss, even if it looks like a piece of madness...
ABOUT ME
Dreamer without borders. Journalist by profession, artist by passion and traveler by vocation!
I do believe we can contribute to make this world better for everybody.
I also belong to Servas (www.servas.org),a beautiful worldwide internacional network based on friendship and peace.
PHILOSOPHY
"it's only fair for me to sing if my song brings together all people who don't have voice..." (informal translation for Ferreira Gullar piece of poem)
"e só é justo cantar/ quando meu canto arrasta consigo as pessoas e as coisas que não têm voz." (Ferreira Gullar)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
* I rounded the world during eigth months visiting countries in a post-conflict situation or over some urgent social issue to get to know good initiatives runned by local communities. Keep doing this, now travelling around Brazil.
