About Me

CURRENT MISSION

increase my participation on sustaining a finite world. Help people get more conscious about our planet

ABOUT ME

I’m originally from Brazil, but I’ve been living in sunny California lately.
I have a job as a professional organizer and as an architect and work independently. (I confess that enclosed offices and I don't get along for long periods of time...)
I’m into healthy lifestyle and wellness, just as I have a passion for music, dancing and environmental issues.
I practice yoga, love to ride my bike to places and run and meditate at the beach. Call me for anything adventurous and I'll be willing to accept: mountain biking, climbing, hiking, you name it!

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if it's your last day on Earth!
... And save a little in case you're still around...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
