Hi hi! I'm a brazilian born chinese jazz singer, and have design as second job... (when necessary... :)).
My life is surrounded with passion for arts in various types... Whether photography, to music, cinema or food... Love the connection between them... And it explains a lot about my creative and easygoing spirit!

Certainly the best thing you can do in life is just packing your bags up and hit the road to explore new places, cultures and people who are very different from your creation and learn new perspectives from others experiences of living as well. Goal of life: go to (at least) a country i've never been, each year.

Life is too short and amazing to get doing the very same things, everyday!

"All paths lead to death. Get lost!"

Rarely party. I prefer to spend an afternoon preparing a lovely dinner among friends, share some bottles of wine, talking bullshit and sharing laughs until dawn.

Love all kind of animals, specially large bread dogs (have a dalmatian).

"Quando viajamos com a intenção de se perder, mal sabemos que viajamos pra nos encontrar."

"Um homem precisa viajar. Por sua conta, não por meio de histórias, imagens, livros, ou TV. Precisa viajar por si, com seus olhos e pés, para entender o que é seu. Para um dia plantar as suas árvores e dar-lhes valor. Conhecer o frio para desfrutar o calor. E o oposto. Sentir a distância e o desabrigo para estar bem sob o próprio teto. Um homem precisa viajar para lugares que não conhece para quebrar essa arrogância que nos faz ver o mundo como imaginamos, e não simplesmente como é ou pode ser; que nos faz professores e doutores do que não vimos, quando deveríamos ser alunos, e simplesmente ir ver". - Amyr Klink

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend presented myself the C.S. on 2015, and it's definitely changed the way i face a trip. Ever since I've met exceptional and wonderful souls, people who have been my greatest inspiration and reference for keeping myself on the road!

I believe that we are not in the world for attachments, because in the end, we will die with nothing.
Someone who values the exchange of experiences, energies and tries tirelessly to search for the different versions of me, in new spaces on this little planet.

And CS has completely changed my concept of traveling, of seeing the world. There is no better way for you to know yourself through the perspective of local people. There is no better form of self-knowledge than testing your limits, exploring the stranger, living like a local, anywhere in the world.
*********************************

Acredito que não estamos no mundo para apegos, porque no final, morreremos sem nada.
Alguém que preza na troca de experiências, de energias e tenta buscar, incansavelmente, as diferentes versões de mim, em novos espaços deste planetinha.

E o CS tem mudado completamente o meu conceito de viajar, de ver o mundo. Não há forma melhor de vc se conhecer através do olhar do local, através da troca. Não há forma melhor do auto-conhecimento senão testando os seus limites, explorando o estranho, vivendo como um local, em qualquer parte do mundo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cancelled an important concert I was suppose do perform (two weeks before) in 2012, and the next day, I was invited to act in a feature film, in a fishermen beach village, in the north-east of Brazil. Total hab.: 900... isolated from great metropolis. I spent 2 months in Guajiru, abstaining from all sorts of technology.

To jump in the 2nd highest Bungee Jump (709 feet high) in the world, in South Africa.

Vipassana is, so far, the most amazing experience I had in my whole life, and it keeps leading me with endless waves of transformation.

Spending 14 days in an Amazon village, and understand (from many trips I've been through), that my country is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful and exuberant places on earth (even most of Brazilians still don't believe it).

*****************************************
Ter a chance de fazer parte de um longa metragem já é, por si, incrível! Poder fazer isso num vilarejo de pescadores, de 900 hab., no interior do Ceará por 2 meses e não ter contato com o mundo externo, então...

Saltar o maior bungee jump de ponte do mundo (216m). Só indo...

Praticar o Vipassana foi e ainda é, o maior divisor de águas da vida!

Entender que o paraíso realmente fica no Brasil depois de ficar alguns dias imersa nos pequenos vilarejos banhados pelo Rio Tapajós.

Teach, Learn, Share

I rather learn than teach... But I really like the idea of exchanging culture experiences... such as teaching how to dance samba, how to make a good caipirinha (brazilian drink) or making a good brazilian/chinese recipe, or even how to do what I love the most in my life: to sing!

**********************

Estamos todos aqui para aprender, sempre! Tudo isso regado à muita risada, um queijo e um vinho! :)
