Who am I?

Eu, in mine 62 years, I'm just a boy, Latin American, Coming from the interior… in the case Sorocaba-SP-Brazil.

I spent most of my first 17-18 years living, studying, etc. anyway, based on the city of São Paulo-SP-Brazil. During this period, I have already started to realize my profile as a “traveler and explorer of new places”. During school holidays and the vast majority of weekends and holidays I would go somewhere, be with my family, with friends or alone. In mine 15-16 years old, for example, me and others 3 friends, with the necessary authorizations from our parents, we traveled for a while 30-40 days in Argentina “in the best style of the 60s and 70s”, that is, backpack on the back, hitchhiking on the roads and having almost no money in your pocket and lots of adventure….

In a next step, 1973, I passed the entrance exam to study Forestry Engineering, at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture/University of São Paulo/Campus de Piracicaba-SP-Brazil and consequently “the Latin American boy returned to the interior”. From there, every day it became clearer to me, that I would have “a nomadic lifestyle” ahead of me, with many expeditions, missions, travel and the like and at every moment having to work and/or live in a certain place on the planet, all this due to the characteristics of my first profession that I had chosen. In practice, I would say that my choices helped me reconcile, in a certain way, the binomial “work and satisfaction in traveling and exploring new places”.

Furthermore, that is, have almost always worked while traveling, when I “technically” took vacation, I also traveled somewhere…

And so it was and continues to be to this day (fortunately)!

In this context, I had the opportunity to visit all the states of Brazil, all countries in South America, Central and North, the vast majority of European countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, Netherlands, England, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary, some African countries (Angola, Mozambique and South Africa), some Caribbean islands (Cuba, Dominican Republic and Saint Martin) and more Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.

The pleasure of “traveling and exploring the most diverse places” also encouraged me to study “tourism”. First I did a postgraduate degree in Tourism and Environment and then I complemented it with technical courses in Tourism and Guiding (professional and official qualification for Tour Guide).

At the moment, I'm entering a new stage, that is, continue traveling, but also “to describe and share with you some of my experiences as a traveler and explorer of places”!
