About Me

-> CURRENT MISSION

To live guided by the adventurer spirit.

-> ABOUT ME

Heeey!! Talk about myself is not so easy as it should be, but ok, let's give a try.

I'm a Brazilian (as the General Information says), although I'm not a very skilful football player, neither samba dancer nor capoeira practitioner. Well, maybe I don't even look like a Brazilian kekekeke, but I make effort to let a good impression of my country wherever I go.

I love to make friends, to taste new cultures, learn new idioms, try new sports, dances, and cuisines. That's what I would like to do for living, but I need to study and work though (dammit :P kekeke).

The qualities I like most about myself are honesty, friendly, be easy-going and MODEST ;P.

I don't smoke, don't drink (unless it's a celebration that deserves such thing) and I'm not allergic to cats or other animals. At least that I know kekekeke. :D

-> PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem and respect the others.

Interests

I really love Music. i can play the drums (or at least try it). You can check that out in my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQyObrZTrF3e-zI1RT3ZsJg

I love also to see some sightseeing and take a lot of pictures for memento.

Of course, tasting different foods, trying unusual languages and why not sports/games makes my day really worthy.
