About Me

Hi!

I'm traveling to Brazil and have the objective to continue the journey to South America, USA and Europe. I always had the dream of making it in search of knowledge, cultural diversity, languages and most importantly, the contact with amazing people who really make a difference in our lives. I'm traveling, almost without money, count always with the help of people along the way (chat, friendship, tourist tips, rides, food and shelter).For the dream is realized I created a project in July 2016, with the name Creative and Cultural Economy. After all, traveling almost without money requires a lot of creativity, but the cultural gain is rewarding.

The project is related to my academic training as economics (MD in Political Economy), but it also means the realization of a personal dream. I worked in one of the most important institutes of economic research in Brazil (IPEA), a scholarship researcher, together with the Ministry of Social Development. It was also research technique in Dieese a research department that helps the working class in Brazil. However, I felt the need to completely change my routine to meet new people, cultures and places. The routine and the rules imposed by the "social standard" consume all our time, our joy, sometimes even health, and ultimately our lives. But the adventurers will not allow ... here we go!
