ABOUT ME

Brazilian studying abroad at Manchester/UK. I study Geology, which is not only the subject of my course, but a passion as well. Open-minded guy, all about learning and seeing new stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

Still really believe that at the end of my life I won't regreat the things I've done, but the things I haven't. So I try as often as possible to say yes to new possibilities and oportunities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: First of all, Kill Bill. <3
Though I love TLOTR trilogy, Harry Potter, Django, Forrest Gump, How to be a Millionarie...

For music, my main passion is eletro music. However, I enjoy very much rock (mostly the classics), jazz, and (why not?) pop.

Favorite book: The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and following books). Also love the Song of Fire and Ice collection and some brasilian literature (favorites are Capitães de Areia, Crônica da Casa Assassinada, and Vidas Secas). I have a special love for "A Series of Unfortunate Events", which I read as a child (and was the inspiration of my only tattoo), and Harry Potter, also a series of my childhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The deadly sight of the powerfull tide of Capim-Açu's Edge (Fernando de Noronha archipelago). I was there doing a field work for my course, when actually lots of people pay hundreds and hundreds to be in the archipelago and yet are not allowed to visit this Edge. That was when I realized I really love my course. xD

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't figure out (on the top of my head) something I could teach that isn't boring for most people. Maybe because I don't have a vocation to be a teacher.

Instead, sometimes I think I born to be an eternal learner. Can sound lame sometimes, but I actually feel as an eternal school kid.

You see, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, in the heart of a traditional family teaching me how my religion, people or culture were the right ones. Those different were just seen as weird.

So, when I got into the university of life, aka out of the family bubble, I'd chose to course How to be more humble. And that is one of the reasons why I want to keep learning my entire life. I want to learn about different people, different art, different looks. I want to see all alternative styles, all kinds of culture, places, religions, food, ideas and philosophies. And that is also a reason why I love to travel and to chat with people of different countries.

Now my question is, can you please teach me new ways of seeing the world? :]
