| I am a young man who loves the sea. I am living at the beach around São Paulo shore close to Isla Bela. My uncle owns two small motorboats, one 15 feet aluminum hull with a 15hp outboard motor and a 16 feet fiberglass hull with 50hp outboard motor. I have sailed, dive and fish with my uncle since I was a little kid. Today I have my own fiberglass hull and sail myself with friends and we love to spearfish. I find myself passionate about the sea and I would love to travel around the globe to meet new places, new people and live new experiences. I am the eldest brother of four kids. I love to be with my family and friends. I am graduated on Public Relations and I have worked for over 6 years as a camera assistant in publicity and cinema films. My next goal is to learn sailing skills and travel around the globe. | |
