About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be part of the Sharing Economy consolidation as an alternative way of doing things

ABOUT ME

We're not going to change the world by doing things the same way we do for many years. I am planning a trip to Europe with two complementary objectives.
One is the making of a documentary film, which will seek to know some examples of communities that have decided to do things in a different way and are changing the world. The initial script is drawn from a collection of articles that mention communities that are organized through cooperatives, collaborative consumption, alternative currencies, collaborative funding, sharing of goods and services, urban agriculture. The idea is that the film is produced collaboratively using crowdsourcing and crowdfunding websites to raise human and material resources for the making of the film, and collaborative consumption websites like car sharing, couchsurfing ( where we count on you), and meals sharing as Eathwithme.
The other purpose of the trip will be to promote an innovative idea that I'm sure you will like. The Tour Coin (www.tourcoin.com) is a virtual currency created to be used in a collaborative community of travelers and hosts. Be offering a place to sleep on the couch, preparing a dinner, or giving a city tour, anyone is prepared to participate. A healthy exchange environment, in which the amount in circulation is linked to real goods and services being traded, not a scarce physical resource (such as gold) or creating profits for a bank. A sustainable and stable economy without interest or inflation.

PHILOSOPHY

We're not going to change the world by doing things the same way we do for many years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll start participating only as a surfer because I dont have place on my home to receive a guest. But I can be a very good city guide in Rio e Janeiro.
