Very eclectic Brazilian guy who spends most of his time working, studying or being around musical and artistic environments. Growing up to Taoist values has developed a unique and balanced taste for life.

I love meeting new people and an international spirit is always present in my thoughts. Having friends all over the world is the ultimate luxury and being the Brazilian counterpart for them is truly a pleasure.

Over the past few years I have grown very fond of the clubbing culture, especially for the underground house and techno scene. Health, technology and art are also big interests.
