About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit all countries in Europe this year than move to Asia.

ABOUT ME

I'm Brazilian guy that worked for a decade in multinational Oil & Gas company, I've dreamed to became a CEO one day, but I noticed the it is not life, now I decided have a meaningful life so I decided go out of my comfort zone and fulfill all my dreams and stop using...if...when...the life happens here now and I won't waste it anymore. I like everything, read, play video game, sports, surfing, kite surfing, workout and climbing. My purpose in life is enhance myself as human being and share as much as I can whatever who is whatever it is. I want to make a lot of friends around the world and plant good seeds in every single person that cross my way, I know that I can't save the world by myself, but I can broadcast seeds that would help the world heal it self.

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing that express me better than this song:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some experiences alreay in CS and all of them were amazing, I have nothing to say, but this idea is an amazing thing, I've got some amazing guests, I've made remarkable new friends, I've had great moments through CS events and I also could try some moments with people that somehow share my philosophy about the world, good people that like to share more than receive in a selfish way.
Definitely CS is making my life better.
