About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying our civilization and it's habits in order to help humans evolve their though patterns to a society that does not place money as the ultimate goal of existence and actually values life itself.

ABOUT ME

I'm half of a couple. Living in New Zealand after 2 years in Rio. Married since 2009 with my beautiful kiwi girl Terressa. We are both former travellers that are trying to save money to keep travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an ex-revolutionary spirit, now a conformist looking for answers, or maybe questions. don't like to judge other believes, and usually accept them well, unless your a fucking extremist :) YES I'm an agnostic with a strong personal spiritual believe.
I believe in the balances of life so I know every single thing (person) has a good or bad side, which is going to be relative to the watcher's eye. I still haven't evolved my mind into a different conscious level as great as a Zen master, Hindus wise man or Jesus Christ.
I find it really hard to just conform to the prison of routine life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some photography, video and related matters. But I also like to discus our society issues, alternatives, solutions and philosophy.

I have recently bought an Ukulele and I would love if someone could teach me how to play it.

I am also learning french so the french are always welcome to come and chat so I can practice it.
