About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You Only Live Twice

ABOUT ME

I'm 23 years old and work as journalist in São Paulo, writing about food and travel. Before coming to São Paulo, I lived in Foz do Iguaçu, the Iguassu Falls' city. My apartment is placed in a very central region of the city - close to Paulista Avenue and to Augusta Street -, which means i'm near from a lot of bars, restaurants and night clubs, and also near from bus stops and from a subway line, so i can give some directions. As I work the whole week, i'd rather recieve in the weekends, when I can give more attention.

I'm a very easy going guy, comunicative, interested in others culture, curious, but not invasive, and most of the time I'm in very good mood. Would really enjoy to show the city to my guests, if i'm not busy. But if you wanna walk alone, you can take some advices and go enjoy the city by yourself. As I don't cook, I know a lot of good places to take a bite. And eating is something I really like. Usually, I use to go rock night clubs, and there are lots of them round here. Music is one of the things I like the most, but I also enjoy movies and arts.
