ABOUT ME

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
(Mahatma Gandhi)

There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
(Thich Nhat Hanh)

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile
(Albert Einstein)

I'm an open-minded person living in a small flat in Recife, in the Northeast of Brazil, together with my little daughter and my wife.

I'm interested in getting to know people from different cultures all around world, exchange ideas and learn from their ways to think about things.

I like simplicity. Life should be simple, but often we make it too complicated. Moreover I think that we are all connected in a more higher sense. This is why I try to treat any human being with a maximum of respect.

I am not hosting a lot at the moment, but I would like to meet you for a drink or show you some nice place in the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
