CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi guys, my name is Rodrigo Telles and I am from Brazil! I am finishing my masters in Economics at the American University in Cairo-Egypt.

I am a sportsman, love soccer and squash! I am very respectful and aware of cultural differences! I like going out, having nice conversations, checking out historical places and learning about new places and people.

I am up to anything and enjoy doing new things!
Back in Cairo I work as a teacher of Economics and History for High School and as Assistant Professor at the University (Macro and Micro Economics)
I am a Squash and Soccer player 3 to 4 times a week!

I really would appreciate to meet new people from different places! I have been in a few places as South American countries, Mexico, lived in the U.S. for 5 years, Canada, Greece and now I live in Cairo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things but hanging on the back of a wild giant turtle in Safaga-Egypt was quite a thriller!

Climbing the High Trata in Slovakia and look at the landscape... recommended!

Breakfast at the top of the mountains complex of Petra-Jordan.

Sunrise on the top of the Sinai Mountain!!!

Canyoning in the waterfalls of Slovenia. Scary!!!

Swimming with wild dolphins in Zanzibar-Tanzania and getting the chance to see a female dolphin with its cub, plus the mating ritual of three males and a female definitely are things I will carry for the rest of my life!!!

Chasing wild zebras on a bicycle down by the lake Maniaro close to the city of Arousha in Tanzania is not something you do everyday... especially considering the carcasses of dead animals and lion tracks hanging all over the place. (Very Nice)
