Hello everybody! Basically, I can sum up myself with: an open-minded Brazillian engineer living in Chambéry, France with my wonderful wife. Home brewer (beer), skateboarder, musician and above all: travel passionate. I was born and raised travelling with my mother, who taught me how to see the world in different perspectives. Naturally, I developped also a passion for meeting new people, new cultures , new lifestyles and new places. I believe that wealth resides not in the price of stuff, but in their values.

Hugged a tiger in Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and learning. In fact, in the year of 2013 I lectured maths lessons to poor children in Brazil. Also, in 2014 and first semester of 2015 I was a maths teacher to poor young people that wanted to go to a good public university in Brazil also. From that, and from life, I have acquired the eager to be constantly learning any kind of stuff.

Travel experiences, travel/life hints that help me on my daily routine, good music, philosofical thoughts on stupid things, brazilian dishes and many more !
