About Me

I'm a tall and skinny guy with young spirit. In 2009 I left Brazil to study English in Australia, since then my life changed. I traveled around Southeast Asia with my wife to discovery what the history books and TV doesn't tell us.

Today, I'm working in a project for an Italian Food Truck in the beautiful island of Florianópolis in Brazil.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Doesn't matter the genre, I like recommendations.

Music: Easy listening, something to chill and relax.

Books: Non-fictions, something inspiring but not self-help style. However, I'm not a good reader.

Teach, Learn, Share

Rather than teach, I'm more like sharing.

I'm always trying to learn something new. I'm very curious about everything but not enough dedicated.
