CURRENT MISSION Travel the world... ABOUT ME How can I possibly try and sum myself up in a few words? Well, my name is Raphael, I am 29 years old, born in Brazil, grew up in USA and a recent graduate student of International Management, in Germany (Yes, pretty international). I work as a Project Manager for a sports company. So you can imagine my love for sports... I actually have been raised away from Brazil for a long time, but not worry... you can definitely tell I have Brazilian blood flowing inside of me. I am a very positive person and also very outgoing. I hate to see people hurt... I guess my friends can really confirm that. I am good imitating actors, friends and especially different animals! I love sports and I mean it. I like everything and I know a little of everything. I work at adidas... so you can probably tell how fanatic I am. My favorite sport is definitely football (soccer) My brother is actually one of my best friends. However, for me it is hard to define what best friend is as I tend to trust everyone very easily. So, I will trust you easily.. but if you break the trust I will treat as a broken glass that can never be glued back together. I love to watch children as I think they can always teach me something valuable and one day I would like to have some of my own! I am completely in love with my nephew and my niece I love true friendships, girls, music, dancing, drinking&partying, movies and clothes. Above all, I would die for anyone in my family. Anyways, I'm said to be a cool person by most, but hated by some for whatever reason they have. PHILOSOPHY Life is short, Dance Naked! It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile. A mistake only becomes an error when you refuse to correct it. Don't judge a book by its cover Forget the past, Live the present, and just let the future happen :)
