CURRENT MISSION

Make friends and learn with them

ABOUT ME

Hello everybody! My name´s Mauricio, I´m 44 years old, and I am from São Paulo, Brazil. I love languages, science, history, music, books, sports, etc. I work for the Brazilian Government as a court reporter taking care of lawsuits. I love travelling, knowing different cultures, walking in the park, going to restaurants, drinking good wine, but I also like to stay home watching tv and surfing the web. I can host you for a while, as long as we arrange it beforehand and I can help you with whatever you need (for example, checking a hotel reservation, giving important information, help with language, etc) and of course have a coffee or beer together. It will be my pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY

Do to others what you wish for yourself

Definitely my biggest passion is the Pet Shop Boys; New Order, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure, The Killers; I also love learning new languages and meeting new people. I love Nature too.
