About Me

Hi, I am José.
I am originally from Brazil, but I have been living Paris since 2012.
I moved to France to pursue my studies in engineering and I am currently working as a researcher trying to make robots do more cool stuff.
Having lived in different cities, I can definitely say Paris is a wonderful place for visiting and living.
Traveling is one of my big passions... I just wish I could do it more often.
Looking forward to meeting you,
José

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bungee jumped from Pont de l'Artuby (higher bungee jump in Europe).
I climbed the Pico da Bandeira (Portuguese for "Peak of the Flag"), the third highest mountain in Brazil.
I went from Paris to Étretat by bike, camping (illegally) on the way. And again (by bike) from Paris to Mont Saint-Michel.
I canoed in the beautiful Sázava river near Praha.
I completed the Garmin Paris Triathlon.
