both the Brazilian and the European culture. He speaks Portuguese,
French, English, German, Spanish and Russian. He has a long experience
of traveling long distances by foot in Europe and in Brazil, and
is developing a net of hiking trails in Santa Catarina. He puts
emphasis on group solidarity, respect for the body and physical
capacity of each member of the group, respect to nature and to
the local population. An aspect of his work is helping dealing
with one’s fear of nature.
