I'm a happy, easy going and idealistic guy :) I live with my wife Lesia and currently finishing a master's in Cognitive Science.

What else do I like to do? I like to go out and see a good concert. I love to meet old friends and to make new ones. I like to write and and play the guitar. I love to hike and camp and to be surrounded by nature. I love to eat a good meal and to drink some good wine ;) I like sports and physical activity. I do my best to be politically and socially active. I love art and cultural events.

Music, Movies, and Books

Many different things, Federico Fellini, Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, Coen Brothers, Tarantino, are directors that I like.

I sort of wander through various kinds of music. I like rock, trance, techno... I Love portuguese and brazilian music.

I've got a deep passion for literature and it's hard to name favourites, but Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, Hemingway, Hermann Hess, Kafka, Fernando Pessoa, Mikhail Bulgakov, José Saramago, Miguel Torga, António Lobo Antunes, Dostoeyvsky, Albert Camus, Milan Kundera, and Haruki Murakami are authors that I really like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll tell you when we meet ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very curious person, interested in a lot of subjects and I'm always willing to share what I know. I'd like to learn more of ukranian and french languages, and I'm always interested in learning all kinds of culture and art. I think I can be useful teaching Portuguese, English, Science or playing the guitar. Can cook a couple of portuguese dishes for you too ;)
