Just a typical Brazilian guy from the countryside, who had the opportunity to study and work abroad several times.

I'm not so good at putting my thoughts into written words, but I love to hang out with friends, acquaintances and new people in town.

In a nutshell, I am definitely very keen on sincere and prejudice-free people and people whose ethics is firmly based on dignity. I am also socially attractive to people who are possessed with cooking skills.

Movies --> I love documentaries and inspirational based-on-true-story films [no fantasy movies please]
Books --> It really depends on my mood, but nowadays I love reading biographies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To come out of the closet in a moralistic country where minorities are permanently under death threat (Brazil) and to remain - in spite of that - mentally strong.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to cook gourmet recipes and just the average meals, especially those considered "staple food" in one's country/region/province/city
