CURRENT MISSION

to live in as many countries as possible, learn as many languages as possible and make friends from all over the world

ABOUT ME

Well, I am basically a guy who loves traveling, speaking foreign languages and learning about other cultures. I am quite easy-going and open-minded. I guess that when good people meet up, it really does not matter where they come from. I like studying (a bit of everything, but mainly Linguistics), reading (a lot) and making new friends. I have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics (Brazil), an M.A in Computational Linguistics (Germany), and am about to finish a PhD in Applied Linguistics and Technology (Iowa State University, USA). I like music, dancing and just enjoying life, basically. Oh, and of course, a glass of beer goes down well with a nice chat!

PHILOSOPHY

Try to be as good a person as I can be in this world and always be true to myself, never hurting (as much as this is possible..) anyone on the way. In addition, try to make the world a better place by fostering understanding and ethics amongst people, but showing that we are actually one.
