About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Realize my dreams, exercise happiness everyday and do good to the people around me.

ABOUT ME
I am 41 years old, I have a 12 year old daughter (born in 2005), my daughter is a sweet, fun, educated and intelligent child.
I am Gaucho (nickname given to those born in Rio Grande do Sul), but I have lived since 1996 in Curitiba / PR.
I worked 15 years in large companies in the areas of Environment, Health, Safety, Quality and Social Responsibility, when I got tired of being employed and decided to have an autonomous career, that was one of the best things I've done in my life. Which enabled me to have freedom to break Brazil and the World.
Today I work as a consultant in management systems, I love my profession.
I travel a lot to work, I know 23 states of Brazil and I started my vacations trips in SOUTH AMERICA in 2008, knowing:
* Argentina = tango classes and stroll through the alamedas in Buenos Aires
* Peru = Lima, Cuzco, MachuPicchu, Arequipa, Huaraz and climb to Nevado Pastoruri with its 5.240m and coast from north to south of Peru
* Colombia = Bogota, Cartegan and Submarine Diving in San Andres), Chile (Santiago, Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Pucon for climbing to the Active Volcano Volcano with its 2,840m, Osorno, Valdivia, Puerto Varas, Puerto Octay and Puerto Mont and Expedition Atacama
* Bolivia = Salar Uyuni Expedition
* Paraguay = Assumption
* Venezuela = Caracas, Punto Fijo and 13 days climbing Mount Roraima with its 2,800m.
I decided to go one step further and went to:
ASIA = India - 34 days backpacking from Trivandrum in the south to Dharamsala in the north
NORTH AMERICA = Canada - 30 days improving French in Montreal and adjoining and touring Toronto and Niagara Falls
* EUROPE = France (Paris, Lakes and French coast with topless rights), Austria (falconry), England (London), Germany (all Bavaria) and Belgium (Brussels, Brugges and Belgian coast) reviewing friends spread around the world.
And in 2016 I decided to make the way from Santiago Completo, in Spain, leaving from Saint Jean Pied du Port to FInisterre, were 34 days walking and approximately 800km. It was an incredible journey with countless learnings and much gratitude.

And now I aspire to visit Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Laos or maybe Bhutan, Tibet, Nepal and Myanmar in 2018. It will be another journey of recognition of the world and of myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am at Couchsurfing because it is an excellent opportunity to meet people, places, cultures, customs, cuisine and other ways of seeing the world.
It is a great way to make new friends, learn languages and make interesting exchanges of life.

Interests

In my free time I love going to the beach, diving, swimming, climbing, entering waterfalls, exploring the city in search of new cafes, I like to practice yoga and meditation. I am very interested in learning other languages, talking with friends, reading a good book, going to the movies.
I like to eat and drink well and when inspired I make excellent dinners, washed down with wine or beer depending on the season.
I am a person in construction, I like to reflect on my actions, I wish to become a better human being and contribute positively to the world, for this meditation, silence and observation.
I am determined, friendly, honest and fair with people, dreamy and joyfully walk towards the realization of my dreams.
It enchants me nature, genuine happiness, new knowledge, the daily reconstruction of the human being, loyalty, altruism, joy, kindness and sweetness in the deal and the encounter with your own soul !!!
