- - - I'm not looking for dates at all. - - - Sorry for the delayed reply—I'm preparing for a theater premiere in May, and between that and work, I have very little free time. I'll have more time to spend with people after May

I grew up in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro and that taught me a lot about life. I've always been very studious, humorous and independent. My family was German and Brazilian. I'm very proud of Brazilian culture and how multicultural the country is. Specifically, Rio de Janeiro is a city that breathes African and indigenous culture and I'm very proud of that too. My world views are those of a politically conscious Latin American. I have a law degree and I'm a civil servant.

In my spare time I take part in theater projects and sing. I also love to dance. I'm very connected to music. And Brazilian music is my passion.

I am a curious person, I like to discuss about social issues, culture, people, behavior, science. I'm a very observant person. I like to change my perspectives, to hear about new thoughts and ideas.
When I'm traveling I like to go to museums, local markets, tourist attractions and local restaurants. I like to go out at night, but maybe not every day. I don't smoke and I drink socially. I consider myself to be quite polite and I was taught to respect people's space. I like to talk, but I also enjoy silence. I'm clean and organized, especially if I'm not in my own home.
