ABOUT ME
I love to travel and learn about different countries. Culture is an important part of life for me. I love music, cinema, theatre, books, food, wine, beer, sunrises and sunsets.
I love dogs more than cats.
I appreciate photograph. And love to take pictures.
I have a special talent to make caipirinhas (most famous drink from Brazil). And love caipirinhas family: Mojito and Marguerita Frozen.
I LIKE TO COOK, EAT AND DRINK!!!
I am living in São Paulo (Brazil) again, I really like the cultural life here.
I lived in Dublin (Ireland for a year) and in Rio de Janeiro during 2 years before i moved to Dublin.
Now i am back to SP.
I am paulista but my first experience in CS was in Rio de Janeiro. I'm missing our weekly meetings at Flamengo (Mercadinho São José). I met great people at CS Rio!!!
PHILOSOPHY
Treat others as you want to be treated...
All is relative.
Synchronicity.
