Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: 25 degrees, warm, sunny and with a blue sky. Today I had a pleasant surprise. Jim, the Scottish owner of the more sophisticated cafe in Wordsley, sent me a message. He is Julie’s boss, and over the months I was there, we began to build a kind of friendship. I like him, the cafe is […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, sunny, slightly grey and overcast. It is Saturday, the weekend and time to go out with my beautiful, little, perfect woman.

For me, this […]

I will stay home, watch films, study, and drink wine. Today, I had classes that lasted until 5 pm. Finally, I was free, which was a relief. In the evening, […]
