ABOUT ME

I am, first and most of all, mostly a creature of few words, more of an observer and listener than a talker. I´m a very patient person as well - despite the fact that I can be quite methodical sometimes, especially regarding moral. For thinking too much, I am careful and definitely no example of spontaneity - and i´m terrible with improvisation, although I can go to great lengths with this effort out of politeness. My sincerity should also be mentioned, though I may have already written directly so far, but I don´t deny that it comes combined with the habit of weighing words, for I dislike even the vaguest notion that I may be misunderstood. And being it so I must say that I don´t trust this little text to describe me, I tried to be clear, but I still must recommend you to ask your own questions about this or that and so confirm or improve the understanding of me that these few phrases gave you. Feel free to write to me anything anytime.

Now some more concrete information: i´m Brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro, and live in Munich for almost five years. I´m not sure if i´ll stay in Munich after my studies, but even if not I intend to stay somewhere in Europe.
