CURRENT MISSION

Je veux parler français courament. Voilà!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Brasília, the capital of Brazil, but I was born in Aparecida do Taboado, a small and unique city in Mato Grosso do Sul state. I have a degree in sociology from Campinas State University (Unicamp) and I work today as a diplomat. I like to share views and opinions about a wide range of issues from culture and politics to movies and literature. Inspired by the famous writer João Guimarães Rosa, I believe the meaning of life is not in the end or at the beginning but across the journey. That's why I enjoy traveling. My current mission is to know a great deal of places in Brazil and Latin America.

PHILOSOPHY

"O correr da vida embrulha tudo, a vida é assim: esquenta e esfria, aperta e daí afrouxa, sossega e depois desinquieta. O que ela quer da gente é coragem. O que Deus quer é ver a gente aprendendo a ser capaz de ficar alegre a mais, no meio da alegria, e ainda mais alegre no meio da tristeza” (Guimarães Rosa)
