ABOUT ME 2019
About me 2010
Personal Description (2009)
Since 2003 I've only spent 2 years in my home town of Porto Alegre.
I've been traveling, working and living in different
countries since then. And I'm loving it!!!
Besides traveling and getting to know people and
cultures, my other passion is to cook! I'm a
professional Chef, got my degree at Gato Dumas Cooking
School, Buenos Aires in 2009 and I can spend the whole
day cooking without getting bored.
I also think that one is responsible for everything
that happens to oneself. For good or for bad, and by
thinking that way, I decided to be a happy person!!
The decision has being working out well for me.
If u want to know more about me, get in touch.
PS: I am a terrible speller! My brother corrected my
profile for me.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy Life
Be happy
Take responsibility
Do to others as you wish they would do to you.
