I'm a freelance writer and editor currently living in dynamic Sao Paulo, Brazil. Besides learning Portuguese, I fill my long days by working on the Net, planning my next restaurant outing or tasking myself on assorted hobbies such as making jewelry, meeting new pals and maintaining old ones.

My likes include indie rock and QOOB TV, chocolate, travel, shoes that fit and a good croissant (the latter of which is not to be found anywhere on the southern continent, BTW). As of this moment, I'm trying to get better at abandoning bad (and very embarrassing) habits I picked up as a resident in Southern California, such as thinking it's impossible to do anything when it starts drizzling. I'm living in the tropics, for chrissake.

All fan letters are appreciated and treasured. Hate letters will be used as scrap paper.

Current weather: 23 degrees C (73 degrees F). 78% humidity. Showers.
