I was born in Brazil, and I am in train of becoming a Carthusian monk, I have been a Trappist monk for some time, and studied philosophy, when travelling around the world for three years, I discovered the Eternal Father. I am quite interested in Religion, and Spirituality, and inter-religious dialogue. I like being into nature, and enjoy community Life, as well as the Silence of the Mountain, finding Jesus has changed my life, and since then I have been living a consecrated life, in the desert of a monastery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people while sharing, while travelling around the world before I met many hosts in France, Germany, Iran, Pakistan, India and China, and also hosted many in Rio, nevertheless I had to delete my account before entering the monastery, now I left to join another monastery, and in this transition I am travelling and hosting again.

while very much into Spirituality I am capable for appreciating the Beauty and Diversity of all spheres of life.

the more Spiritual the more Human we become and the more accepting of ourselves and others.
