I wish, I want & I WILL get it! - The endless search for inner peace & knowledge.

About Me

A paradox seems to be the best word to describe me. Patient,yet impatient; a nonconformist who conforms; rebellious,yet peace-loving; fond of different people, but loyal to a few.

Unconventional,lively,idealistic, stubborn,dedicated to my own ideas, analytical,dreamer,humanitarian yet a strong willed woman who enjoys:
To write, international cuisine,languages, travelling around the globe exploring exotic cultures and sometimes the quietness of my own bedroom!
Despite of the contradictoriness,dry humor,detachment, and eventual eccentricity, a spiritual and intense soul.
Everyone on my list are either actual new or old friends, acquaintances, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu buddies or persons whom I have affinity and/or admire and do my best to keep in touch.
Thus, if you are a face collector, your Top 20 are only women in bikinis or yet,if you have a dark vibe profile,I can guarantee that we wont become friends.
Also, unless you are Mark Vanderloo or Fredrik Ljungberg, PLEASE spare me from annoying messages such as :
" Hello exotic, young, beautiful, Brazilian female. Me man. Me hope you understand English or you get internet on your treehouse in the Amazone.Me looking just for friends (only young, beautiful, females since I just want to get laid with all of them, but because I am so subtle and pretend to be nice, none of you will ever guess). Have a nice day, Your typical caveman, oogah, oogah. PS: Sorry, no hablo espanol."
However, in case you identify with my profile,and wish to become part of my list, needless to say that you will be polite enough to follow the BASIC Rule Of Social Skills and drop me a line.
If for some reason I dont add you, please do not insist to see my photos and so on.

For those who love Brazil:http://www.virtualplanet360.com/

I'd like to meet:


Actually, I am already getting to know all of them..

As an ecletic person, I tend to attract some very interesting souls towards me.

I noticed that most of them will be : Humanitarians, Globetrotters,Professional photographers, artistic minds, intellectuals, mystical, athletes( martial arts & surfers)and business people in general.Thus,I dont expect it to be any different over here.

I love the fact that I was able to make friendship at the 4 corners of the world.

I consider myself to be a fortunate person, as all of them have entered my life,in specific and special moments; it doesn't matter if it was only for a few hours,days or if it still remains nowadays.

They all have taught me something,in different yet unique ways and for that,I will always be grateful!(...)

" The value of the things is not on the time that they last, but in the intensity with that they happen. Therefore, Unforgettable Moments, Unexplainable Things and Incomparable People Exist..."

MySpace Avatars Lyrics

Albert Einsten in reflected on the purpose of mans existence when he said:
" Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others,for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Many times a day,I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself to give in return as much as I have received." ... Just Perfect!!
