Books...I've been reading a lot of plays at the moment but Italo Calvino, Pablo Neruda, Dostoievsky and Guimarães Rosa are among my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the World Social Forum in 2005 in Porto Alegre (south of Brazil) and that was one of the best experiences of my life!! There were thousands of people camping in a huge park, lots of different cultures together and loads of fun. Plus, the bus journey was classic! I've made some good friends there and had unforgetable adventures.

I've seen many beautiful things around the world but anything like the sunrise at Praia Vermelha and the sunset at Ipanema, posto 9.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the violin, music theory, acting techniques, dancing and portuguese.

Always ready to learn something interesting.
