Well, I consider myself to be a quiet person. I'm not very fond of big parties, though I enjoy a lot hanging out with friends. I'm very shy, but once I get to know someone I like to talk about everything (okay, not everything, I'm really not into sports...).
I'm brazilian, and currently I'm studying to get my PhD in Chemistry in the universtity of Campinas, a city close to São Paulo. I hope to one day become a professor in some university.

Interests

Most of all, I enjoy listening to music, but I also read a lot, and like to watch movies. When I have the opportunity, I love to go hiking in mountains, forests or beaches (or forests that lead to beaches, which is the best to me). I used to play acoustic and electric guitar, but it's been a while since I've stopped (I'd say it's lack of time, but the truth is that it's just lack of discipline to practice...).
