About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I will am currently traveling around the world with my wonderful girlfriend Lindsey Pace until March.

ABOUT ME

Basic life story:
Born in Brazil, grew up in Miami, went to college at UF in Gainesville, FL, worked in Charlotte, NC for 2 years, traveled the world for 1 year, now living in Denver, Colorado with my girlfriend.
Currently:
I guess one trip around the world wasn't enough. I am leaving in October again to travel around the world for 5 months with my girlfriend. Some countries I am planning on going to are Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, India, Oman, Jordan, Israel, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, and Argentina.
Who I am:
I enjoy being in transit and can't stay in one spot for too long. I love meeting new people from all around the world and I love engaging in thought provoking conversations. I think of myself as a chameleon! I always adapt to the environment I am in and get a long with everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing beats sitting on a plane, train, or car knowing that I am going to some unknown destination ready to gain knowledge and experience that I will keep for the rest of my life. I feel most at home when I am traveling, living out of just a backpack. I believe you learn the most about yourself when you challenge yourself and put yourself in unfamiliar environments. I live to learn and learn from traveling.
