About Me

Hello beautiful people from the world :)

I'm a deep searcher of truth. Mostly feeling like a world-citizen, belonging to many places and swimming through many cultures and languages on a daily basis. I love to travel, to climb, to be in nature and to meet people profoundly. I have two awesome children (7 and 5 years old) that make my life indescribably beautiful, much of it is yet way beyond my understanding..

I love to feel this deep travelling-mood, but as I have sometimes experienced it in a very repetitive routine, I wonder what is the limit between this travelling mood that is so full of life, widely open to the world around us (when everything around us become beautiful or, at least, interesting) and normal life. What happens to us when we lose such a wonderful attitude towards the world and people around us?

I wonder now how to cultivate this interior openness attitude, in Goethe's words, to actually see what is lying under our eyes, one of the most difficult tasks..
An inner smiling and presence, to meet what comes to us.

I am a young Brazilian ex-waldorf student, looking for a sense of life (or many!) and a real relationship with people, animals, plants and mountains, without conventions, routine or 'normal' habits. I'm trying to find the I inside me, and for such I shall look out into the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to live in a world with more truth, more simplicity, and more real human encounters.

Where people can trust each other and are open to the wonders of life. In a world where hotels would be almost unnecessary, and where people have the know-how and urge developing wider and deeper relations to the whole world surrounding and dwelling in us.

Interests

I love music and I also love silence, so when music becomes a background noise, how can I say, I feel like a deep tragic feeling.
I love walking in nature, and feeling alone inside a forest, or by a river or on the top of a big mountain, just glazing and admiring nature.
I like deep philosophy books, where thinking about the human condition becomes an art. The thing about it is to never forget that thinking must be always linked to acting, and also feeling. So sometimes I still caught me in my intellectual speeches without any palpable change in my lifestyle, an eternal challenge.
