CURRENT MISSION

Live freely!

ABOUT ME

I want to travel, meet new people, intelligent, who know how to live with your truth and so loves life.
I want to discover the world and I know I can do that knowing the people who come to my city. Every one always brings a bit of the place they came, when I can not see myself going in person.

PHILOSOPHY

The pursuit of my inner truth can bring me happiness.

Ithaca

By Konstantinos P. Kavafis

When you leave for Ithaca,
may your journey be long
and full of adventures and knowledge.

Do not be afraid of Laestrigones, Cyclopes
or furious Poseidon;
you won’t come across them on your way
if you don’t carry them in your soul,
if your soul does not put them in front of your steps.

I hope your road is long.
May there be many a summer morning,
and may ports for the first time seen
bring you great joy.

May you stop at Phoenician marts,
to purchase there the best of wares,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber, ebony,
hedonic perfumes of all sorts;
may you go to various Egyptian towns
and learn from a people with so much to teach.

Don’t lose sight of Ithaca,
for that’s your destination.
But take your time;
better that the journey lasts many a year
and that your boat only drops anchor on the island
when you have grown rich
with what you learned on the way.

Don’t expect Ithaca to give you many riches.
Ithaca has already given you a fine voyage;
without Ithaca you would never have parted.
Ithaca gave you everything and can give you no more.

If in the end you think that Ithaca is poor,
don’t think that she has cheated you.
Because you have grown wise and lived an intense life,
and that’s the meaning of Ithaca.

I love music, especially those coming from the soul - the anonymous player and the most revered master.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I have to teach is my truth and my view of life. I also can teach my language (Portuguese), play maracatu and samba.

I believe that everyone has something to teach me when it goes in my life, I do not know anyone who has not taught me something. And I love learning, I like to listen and when that next to me stop talking I feel richer.
