Easy going, fun, intelligent, musician, scientist, traveler, and more, all in one package :) I'm open and honest, and try to respect different people, opinions, tastes as much as possible.

Working, enjoying, searching, relaxing, in short, just making the best of it :)

Music! I can play almost any song just by hearing it once or twice. I play the piano/keyboards and some guitar and drums. I've played in many bands as well.

I look younger than my age.. gee, I didn't know that :)

I'm open to almost anything, and have a hard time choosing. But I'll give it a try:

Music: Radiohead, Tori Amos, Aphex Twin, REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Björk, Portishead, Madeleine Peyroux, PJ Harvey, A Perfect Circle, Tortoise.

Movies: Movies directed by Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams, especially Biutiful), Quentin Tarantino. Recently I enjoyed The Tree of Life, Cloud Atlas, and Melancholia. I enjoy art house movies in general.

Books: I prefer scientific books: Gödel Escher Bach (Hofstadter), Freakonomics (Levitt), anything from Malcolm Gladwell (Blink, Outliers), A Short History of Nearly Everything (Bryson). Fiction: Things like The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Food: I'm an omnivore, though I try to eat meat only sparingly. I like most cuisine, including Italian, Japanese, Chinese. I do like to cook, but unfortunately I'm not a masterchef yet :)

- Music: wouldn't know what to do without it
- Coffee: I love the smell and taste
- Travel: nothing like a change of environment to inspire you
- Computers/Internet: I enjoy creating programs/apps/sites.... say it loud: "I'm sometimes a nerd and I'm proud!" ;)
- Philosophy/life wisdom: even though there is no single truth, there is value in trying to reach one.. it expands your mind
- Love: relationships, both emotional and physical, are a beautiful thing

- Whether to stay in this rainy cold country the rest of my life, or take the plunge and work and live abroad.
- How interesting it is that we all grow up with rules and values, that now to me seem increasingly ridiculous. Why don't more people open up their minds?
- Trying to get to know myself better, finding out what _I_ really want instead of doing what's expected of me.

... glad that the working week is over ;) And probably enjoying a nice beer somewhere.

Don't tell anyone.. but I like to watch the Eurovision Songfestival :) I just can't help it.. And no, I'm not gay :)

you want to avoid 7 years of bad luck :p

Oh and if you speak Portuguese.. please be my friend! I'm trying to learn it but need some sparring partners! Obrigado!
