CURRENT MISSION

Rescuing my ancient roots

ABOUT ME

Most of the time I am trying to pull my feet to the ground, because my mind is always in somewhere btween the clouds and the sky. The quality that I most like is simplicity. The thing that I most hate is to be rushed by someone. I used to like raining days, but since I'm here in London, that become quite boring, but it's ok. I love to travel, of course, and is exciting to meet new people from different kind of places of the world. I don't have one favorite band, or favorite song, it just depends on my mood, of what I want to listen. But brazilian popular music always makes me feel good, no matter what.
I believe in God, in human kindness, and in love, as well as in the importance of each person be owner of their own choises, the importance of we walk by our on feet, without we hide in shadows.

PHILOSOPHY

Home is not a phisical place outside, it's a inner feeling. (from Osho)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met amazing people through couchsurfing, some of them simply changed my view of life :)))

My first experience surfing a couch was in Paris in the house of a wonderful person. I spent my first NYE in London with CS friends it was really nice, we had lots of fun together! Only positive experiences, I have known very nice and fun people! ;)

Interests

People, places, art, design, music, spirituality, love, life.
