About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness is only real when shared

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, work as a director of photography (movies, advertisement and video music) and my favorite hobby is Kung Fu and adventure (anything that gives me adrenaline, specially hight)

I was working as a video producer at Riot Games (League of Legends) for the past 3 years. But now I'm back to freelancer jobs
I used to practice TCM (traditional chinese medicine) and martial arts

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is only real when shared" Into the Wild

Each day we learn how to leave the next one...

Time is the only thing that can heal scratches inside the body and make u better person after it.

No matter what is going on, try to always give your back to the shadows and look to the light

Every turning point in life is important, specially the ones that make u suffer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went to a lot of meetings and met a lot of interesting, funny any great people. Not only brazillian, but also people from all around. I showed the city to some people, spend time with them in clubs, parks, concerts and all kind of things.

I visit almost all states in Brazil, and some countries as: India, Italy, Spain, US, Germany and Netherlands and meet a lot o CSers each place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I received a incredible guy from Australia (Joe Grant) and I showed him the city. It was an amazing experience to know someone from other country, I hope to know more and more people like him.

I receive as well a guy from Nebraska (Peter Sullivan)

Every week I went to the meetings, and in this meetings I can discover a lot of interesting people in your own country. I'm making good friends in here. Almost all meetings here in clubs, bars, concerts parks and things like that I like to go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Went to Himalia for 3 days and hiked until almost 4km meters high. Best moment of my life ever

* watched the Foz do Iguacu, from Brazil side during the night. Something that would be almost impossible to print in a picture but will be forever at my mind

* Went to Hampi city in India, one of the most beautiful places that Ive ever went in my life

* Jump of an airplane (skydiving), nothing is so incredible like that

* My meditation sections on my Kung Fu gym, there is nothing like that. The time goes fast, u feel the air, u can really "talk" to yourself and the world.

* Look at the pretty sky in Northest of Brazil (Ceará) and see 2 perfect rainbows starting in the montains and ending in the sea.
