Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Settle in Blumenau, and explore the region
ABOUT ME
After years of working freelance as an architect, I've co-founded a couple of IT startups, and I've still been working on one of them for the last year
On the other hand, I've been also travelling, staying in different countries for most of my life. Now it's time for me to settle, and live here for the foreseeable future
PHILOSOPHY
I'm an existentialist who strives for individual freedom for myself and for those who desire it
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have just moved in to a big house with a garage building, but haven't yet furnished or settled enough to have guests
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Since I became a member many years ago, I've been travelling, and living in different places. I've met many couchsurfers from around the world, and been a guest to some of them
Interests
I spend most of my time doing research on the internet, about a wide range of my interests
I like finding new ways to increase efficiency in my life in order to properly allocate my time, focus, and energy into the things I want to be doing
I want to create an environment for myself in which I can produce works of my expression of all kinds; from making music, to writing, shooting films, from realising a concept of invention, to creating a service, and many other things...
At the moment, it's time for me to meet new people as I settle in my new home, find new experiences to focus on, and live as productively and fulfillingly as I can

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen icebreakers splitting the white, continuous, frozen crust of the Baltic Sea, from the windy peak of the Suomenlinna fortress
I've walked on the streets of Midtown Manhattan during a blizzard
I've seen the fog rolling in over beautiful San Francisco
I've remembered and became myself again in the Peruvian jungle during an ayahuasca ceremony at a Shipibo camp
I've seen the environment through the eyes of the people of the jungle when I was in the Amazon River. I've seen the heart of the world, I've felt the energies
I've meditated at one of the chakras of the world
I've lived, and lived, and enjoyed the moments...
