ABOUT ME
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and lived there the biggest part of my life. Since February 2014 I`ve been in Israel after residing six months in Beijing, China, and concluding my bachelor course in International Relations at PUC-RJ. I'm an easy going guy looking for knowledge, that loves a good talk but also appreciates the due moments to be quiet and just listen.
I'm constantly in love with music. Travelling and meeting interesting people are one of the great things in life, but I also appreciate the silence, a cup of coffee and sometimes the rain. Why not? I'm a calm guy, organized, clean, awake and alive!
PHILOSOPHY
Listening is a blessing.
