CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to visit at least one foreign country each year for the next 25 years.

ABOUT ME

I am a Brazilian 39 years old yoga teacher and writer living in San Francisco, California. I am at the moment living in a very small one room studio so I am not able to host, but love showing my city around to visitors, specially on a bike! I also tend to spend one month a year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I love to show around as well!

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy by making everyone else around you happy. Watch your carbon footprint. Eat well, share delicious meals. Work hard and play hard.
