ABOUT ME

I'm an "easygoing" person, who loves to make new friends, exchanging cultures and ideas.
I'm writing my master thesis (about social movements in Brazil in the 80s), working also for a "favelas" urbanization company and for an ONG that evaluates social programs in Brazil.
I'm also an activist in some movements (ecological, political and urban).
One thing that I love is to dance, specially the samba (samba de gafieira). Like most brazilians, music is not only a part of my life, but it's also a part of my heart and soul.

Books:
The best (material) heritage that my father left me was a huge library that always makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to read at least half of it. Obviously I read a lot of social science books, but I love literature (one of my favorite authors is Balzac!) and, recently, I've discovered that I love autobiographies: Nelson Mandela's is an essencial reading...
