About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, new cultures and create many stories.

ABOUT ME

I'm a brazilian man with 27 years. I'm graduated in Social Science in Fundação Getulio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro Brazil, master in Social Comunication in Rio de Janeiro State University and doctoral student (Geography) in the same University. I work at Office of Communication of this University. I studied anthropology, gender and music in Portugal, in ISCTE/IUL, from January 2009 to August 2009. I really like music, books, tv series, movies, learning new languages, meeting knew people and new cultures. I love big conversations about philosophy and world things, music etc.

I love to go out at night, but I love stay at home too and drink some things, smoke a narghile and have a good conversation.

In 2009 have been in Portugal to study and I traveled around Europe with a backpack and a friend. I've been in UK, France, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Czech Republic and Morocco. I had an awesome experience in Morocco.

In 2011 i went to Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Tchech Republic with my very special friend Ivana. It was a incredible experience to be back in Europe again! I love France and Germany. I think in my old lives I lived there!

Well, that's a little about myself.

If you want to meet the incredible city of Rio de Janeiro, leave a message. I live in the neighborhood of Vila Isabel. It's a neighborhood in north side of the city and quite special because one of the most popular singer and composer lives here, Noel Rosa (google in and discover more about him). Close to my house is the Escola de Samba Unidos de Vila Isabel (I don't know how to translate that). I'ts one of the most important and tradicional "School" of samba in Rio.
I think I wrote too much, anyway: come to Rio, leave a message!

PHILOSOPHY

"I will build my world
I will sing my songs
I will keep my helmet on"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I ever made was moving to Rio de Janeiro to do college and become the man I am today, with my family and friends support and all the
possibilities that my trips around the world provide to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm at the stage of psychoanalysis in books, vampires on TV and in movies and Fado, Pop and alternative bands in music, like The Gossip, Aldina Duarte, Amália Rodrigues, The Gift, Ana Moura, Paulinho da Viola, Zaca Pagodinho, Cartola, Noel Rosa, Mariene de Castro & Zaz. I really want to show more about samba and fado. It's such amazings king of song!
