About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Not sure if I have a mission these days... good question. Should I have one?

ABOUT ME

I'm a 31 yo Brazilian guy, working (a lot) as a management consultant and living in Barcelona since June/2006.

I'm very rational for somethings, and emotional for many others. Constant fight between head and heart.

I'm very organized, and my house reflects it. Hate dirty, messy places. But relax, I don't have the obsessive-compulsive disorder! ;)

I have lived in many cities due to my work, and although I like the no-routine life-style, it can be very annoying as well, specially if you feel like having some time for yourself.

I search for a healthy, well balanced life, where ideally my day should be divided in 3: 8 hours for working, 8 hours for enjoying/studying/having fun, and 8 hours sleeping. Unfortunatelly, it is more towards 15 hours working, 5 hours sleeping and 4 hours for myself...

As for my free time, I like working out and jogging. Eating and cooking. Cinema and Theatre. Sun bathing and beer. Wine, bread & cheese (the stinkier, the better).

I like clubbing, prefering day parties in a cool and exciting terraza than a dark underground room (although sometimes I feel like it too).

Music is always on in my house.

I love cartoons (asterix, simpsons, cow & chicken, I'm weasel, bugs bunny, wood woodpeecker, flintstones, etc.).

Overall, I'm a very open minded guy, who likes to travel a lot, and enjoy the freedom, the syncronicities and intuition that appears stronger when you are travelling. Things just happens, always, in the way they should when you are travelling. That's exciting!
