About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to see happiness in every little moment of my life

ABOUT ME

I am from the South of Brazil, a state called Rio Grande do Sul (something like 'Big river of the South"). It is beautiful here, with beaches, mountains, rivers and waterfalls. We have the four seasons with hot summers and cold winters.
I have lived in the US for eight years, where I studied Culinary Arts and Visual Arts.

What else?... Well, I love movies, books, especially the classic ones - some writers I like are Poe, Hemingway, Shakespeare, Verner, Maupassant, Flaubert, Orwell, Kafka and lots of Brazilian authors like Machado de Assis, Martha de Medeiros, Goncalves Dias,Castro Alves, Olavo Bilac, Mario de Andrade, and so on.
I have my small food business here in Brazil and I love what I do. I love to dance. I feel so free dancing, free in the same way when I am biking or in the middle of Nature. Also, I like all kinds of manifestation of art. And like putting my emotion out painting, drawing, dancing, cooking, etc.
In my city in Brazil, there is a place called Colina do Sol, which is a naturalist place. People (not indigenous)live completely naked there. I haven't been there; I am curious about the place,though, but my shyness doesn't permit me to go there. :)
yeah, I think this is the basic about me.

PHILOSOPHY

Even in a bad moment, thank your god for it, because it makes us understand more what life really is about, to be more thankful to good things and be sure that the sun will shine soon again.
