CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born in São Paulo/Brazil, had a dream to live and work abroad and managed to pull that off. Left a great job, my family to live an A.W.E.S.O.M.E experience in Canada for over a year, travel a bit through the Northern parts of the US and ended the journey in a classy way with a backpacking trip through Southern Europe.
Now living in Milwaukee for work and hopefully for long and long years.

Since then, traveling has become a part-time activity in my life and my first goal has been achieved: visit the 6 continents (I know some people consider Antarctica as the 7th, I might give it a try soon)

Love to talk, eat, drink, help and play valuable role in people's lives. I'm the kind of party person but also love to have quiet moments talking about life and other stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

#1. Give your family the value they deserve.
#2. One mistake, one lesson learned.
#3. If you are not happy - for God sake - do something to change it!
#4. Why not??

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Well, although still young, I've worked for several years in several industries, coming from a poor country and thanks to my parents we all have good values and principles. People can learn from each other all the time, either just observing or being part of cycle.
I play the guitar, I used to skateboard a lot, surfboard a little bit, a computer savvy and as a good Brazilian - play soccer as well.
And the last but not least: I can teach you how to change filthy diapers :)
