About Me

-Brazilian-German, left my office job in 2014 to travel and discovered several life possibilities, met incredible people, and worked on the road as Hotel Manager, Chef, Store-person, Farmer, Bartender, Waiter, First Mate and Captain on large Catamarans.

I believe in those ideas:
-You are what you think
-Your thoughts create your reality
-You can learn anything in 20 hours
-Experiences create lasting, deeper feelings of happiness
-The root of suffering is attachment
-I think travel is the best school, it broadens your mind, it breaks your paradigms and prejudices.
-Nothing is impossible, just take time and effort

"Live as your were to die tomorrow. Learn as you were to live forever." Ghandi
"Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right" Henry Ford
"If you can dream it, you can do it." Walt Disney
