CURRENT MISSION Learn more, spread environmental education and fight for peace and freedom. ABOUT ME In my youth I had to leave Brazil for political activism and was hosted by many nice people in different countries, like Uruguay, Argentina, Peru, Mexico and The Republic of California...The San Francisco Bay Area and the rest of Northern California became like a second country... To come back after a few years I travelled by land (trains, buses, boat) thru Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia, to the upper Amazon river and entered Brazil... Later, as an economy journalist, I´ve been again in the US many times, as well as in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, South Africa, Egipt, Tunisia, Morocco, Gabon, Senegal,Chile etc. As a tourist I´ve been many times in England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. For a few months I lived in Rotterdam, while attending a documentary course. In Brazil I´ve been travelling a lot, from Rio Grande do Sul to the Northeast, from Pantanal to the Amazon jungle. But what I really enjoy is off roading by the "cerrado" eco-system, national parks and ecological hotspots. PHILOSOPHY liberal left, environmentalist, agnostic
