For me, life is all about having fun and doing whatever it takes to feel truly alive. Find me on a bike, at a music festival, or in the mountains with like minded and inspiring friends and you will find a happy dude.

Open-minded, free-spirited and due in part to my Brazilian and Colombian heritage I have had a passion for traveling and experiencing new cultures for as long as I can remember.

PHILOSOPHY

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
-O.Wilde

A boy from an orphanage in Nepal gave me a beautiful poem which I keep in my journal while traveling. One of the stanzas read:

ZOO ZOO
GO TO THE ZOO
THERE IS MONKEY
SAME LIKE YOU.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To connect with intrepid, like-minded travelers who kick ass at life

兴趣

Anything outdoors: mountain biking, camping, hiking, climbing, playing soccer or disc golf. Sitting, thinking, breathing deep and dreaming BIG! Always up for something new.

Also, my dog: Banksy!

In recent years I have discovered a passion in photography. With all the beautiful places I have the opportunity to explore comes a deep desire to capture it as best as possible . Please check out some of my photos here and at https://www.facebook.com/adventurelabphotography

音乐、电影和书籍

Check out my collection of vinyl for a good insight into my music taste.

Melanie and I just saw one of my personal favorites: Fat Freddys Drop in a small town square in Switzerland.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The Amazon! I had the chance to paddle through some tributaries around Manaus in Brasil. Fishing for piranha and just listening to sounds of the rainforest left me with the most visceral connection to our planet that I have ever felt.

The brilliant souls that I have met from Bolivia to Nepal, through my work leading trips with Global Works, have left a lasting impression on my life.

Favorite US hike: The Narrows in Zion National Park
Favorite hike abroad: Just hiked to Schonbielhutte outside of Zermatt, Switzerland.
