ABOUT ME

Born and raised in a small/medium city in the extreme south of Brazil. Love to be outside. Enthusiastic about bycicles and cycling. Really hate to go shopping. Enjoy cooking a lot, do it everyday. Obviously, enjoy eating too.Have a weird (sometimes disgusting) attraction for bizare and unusual food. Fascinated about nature and wildlife. Much more a book-reader than a tv or movie-watcher. Approved for Oceanology School but did not went for it, what kind of regret sometimes. Love the sea, rivers, big portions of water in general. Always up to every invitation - could be a beer or a 3-days walking, doesn´t matter. Afraid of dogs. Love sports: jogging, swimming, surfing, skateboarding, cycling, football... Always think that is possible to walk a bit more, to sleep a bit less,that there is no too tired,what usually pisses off partners of activities. Moody once in a while, although don´t like to admit it. Got a degree on Materials Engineering, moved to Germany in order to get a master degree and to shake things up. Missed family and loved people left behind. Got back in Porto Alegre for a while, but moved again - this time to São José dos Campos to shake things up again (and it was really worth it!!). Atheist. Worked in a steel factory for 2 years, payed the bills with the master´s scholarship for more two years, spent my saves travelling by car to Argentina while waited the new job to start. Again living with a scholarship, at least i am learning how to design airplanes now. Fascinated and intrigued about mankind. Figured out that the difference between having a great or a bad time, in most occasions, is just a matter on how do you look at things and deal with the unknown or unexpected.

Music, Movies, and Books

Read all books of Jorge Luis Borges in a roll - what i should have not done, lost the interest in the end. Really like Eduardo Galeano, even not agreeing with him many times. Got very impressed about Kundera and Exupery books. Recently, interested about real adventure and exploration stories. Also love comic books, specially Robert Crumb and Disney comics.
