About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the Trans-siberian railroad, from Saint Petersburg-Moscow to Vladivostok.

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert (mostly) and quite curious (albeit shy). I spend my spare time enjoying cinema, looking at paintings, listening to music, playing chess or watching some tv series. When going outdoors I'd rather go to bars, pubs, parks or anywhere one can have room and enough silence to have a conversation.
I think this is it.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about my own country's/people's culture, I speak three languages (Portuguese, English, French) and can understand some Spanish and German. So I guess I can learn and teach something.
