: About Me

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil where I lived until I was 21 years old. I moved to United States nine years ago. I have adapted to the culture and today would not live anywhere else. This is still the land of opportunity and the land where I want to be. I am happily married, without children. I do have a teenager stepson and a small dog who trully believes she is my daughter. I love to travel and write. I hope someday to combine both activities and get paid to do so.

I recently created a blog to follow my quest for a new job. Feel free to visit it :)

Very similar in texture, but in Brazil they may serve with half pound of sugar. I was coming back from Brazil recently when the flight attendant asked me how much sugar I wanted. I answered only two will do it. He was amazed and said I thought you were Brazilian. I said I ...
