I was a professional distance swimmer from year 1990 to 1994 and still participate as an amateur when possible. I like sea swimming too. I love to stretch - breathing and concentrating inspired by yoga.
I have always been a nature lover. Nowadays what I most enjoy is to read and to be involved with nature (cultivating, hiking, skiing, flying or surfing).
I am a free flight instructor and, when I have time, I do paraglider tandems - sharing this unique experience with people. It's fascinating to help people experience the importance of perspective, trust, self-control, and risk management through tandem flights, including within social projects, where these concepts often risk becoming empty buzzwords. I have flown more than 120 kilometers in a nine hour tandem flight crossing the Spanish central plateau.
Music is one of my passions as well and I play the harmonica. When doing tourism I love to take the subway and go to the last stops, that are not prepared to be seen. In my youth I used to take buses which destination I did not know to find out new people and places in Rio [the divided city].
