I was born and raised in São Paulo, where I've graduated in Internacional Relations at PUC/SP. I'm a true aficionado of this metropolis, although I've very much enjoyed the year I've lived in Barcelona and the 3 years living oh soo close to Rio de Janeiro's beaches.

I'm a huge enthusiast of Brazil as an awesome travel destination, one of the reasons I've founded Checklist Turismo, a local tour operator that provides all kinds of travel services to foreigners visiting the city.

When I'm not working I like to hit the road to Ubatuba beach in the Northern Shore of São Paulo State, taking it easy with my loving wife, my little 1,5 years son Leonardo and our Golden Retriever "Birita".

Oh, I almost forgot: my second bike is a car!
