About Me

De regresso a Casa e ao lugar onde nasci depois de 15 anos...

Outro capítulo começa!

On a mission...

ABOUT ME

(MY profile description is always under construction)

:)
What you see, is what you get!

My name is Ricardo, I always look on the bright side of everything, open-minded, patient, tolerant, very curious and self taught. Listen music out loud I love nature and experience new cultures and people. Make FRiends I don´t dismiss friends for nothing, a FRIEND is priceless.
I have a particular will, for Knowledge.
And much more...

Well, has been 10 years since I first wrote my description and never updated again.
I've done, seen, smelt, touched, felt, laughed, cried, made love, learned, taught.... and so many other things so much!
And all that took me. to the mountains, a magical place up in the clouds. So much knowledge, wisdom, love I have learned here, this discipline and journey i took has brought me peace of spirit and many answers I'd been looking for.
Never felt so alive and certain of me.

Hope I can share, motivate, inspire and help who I can in the same way I found all this is my journey with all the amazing and incredible people I meet on the way and have taught and showed me so much.

So, NOW...
We have to meet each other because there's so much we can learn from one another. I want to listen to your worries, your stories, your joys.
what have you been doing, how's life treating you and how do you really feel and what do you want for your life!!?

" I have a story of an adventure in one of that German host family, i traveled with five friends of mine to a mountain in new years eve, in the way to there we almost lost the connection train to our destiny, we must got out of the train and catch other train to back out to the connection station. After we arrive in the house of the family host we had to make a 4hours trip by foot, in the middle of the dense foggy by the mountain (i don´t know were i had been, i couldn't see nothing) to get to a beautiful and simple wood cabin somewhere in the middle of the mountain with a superb eyesight over the hillsides and the valley. The dinner and the socializing was great,out loud music, juggling and laughing i love that new years eve party. Was simple great :D
