I was born in Florianopolis, south of Brazil, in 1988 and after traveling outside the country for some years I’m back to my birthplace.I am an architect and I love what I do, I work in the coordination of the biggest Architecture event in Brazil and I’m gathering stuff for my first book, also about brazilian architecture, ecologic engineering and social urbanism. I’m very direct and have no fear of exposing what I think to anybody. I am and I like people who are independent, stable and smart.

I’m a typical Cancer, which means I am sensitive, shy, funny, sometimes-superficial, complex, creative, sort-of eclectic and nurturing. And I can dance, which isn’t really a Cancer-specific trait, but I thought you should know. A man that is confident without being arrogant will get my attention. Other turn-ons include: goofiness, ambition, leadership and daring (but smart) fashion choices.

Men? Hmm. Well, recently, I embarked on the path of bachelorhood for the first time in 9 years. I wasn’t with the same dude for 9 years (are you crazy/good for you guys), but in back-to-back relationships. I never really figured out how to be happy on my own and explore what I wanted and want as an individual. I often let my creativity and ambition sit in the back seat while I let my relationship call shotgun, every time. After moving out of my ex’s place and getting a cute-as-hell one and a half in the Byward Market (Ottawa), things started to take off and I basically discovered a whole new me.

If I truly believe in something with all of my heart (whether that be in a relationship, friends, opinions, etc) I will always be the one to speak my mind about it. I’m confident in a way that people usually tell me they feel at easy around me and that they can talk to me about issues they tend to not talk about. That confidence I find also leads to me being left single because guys aren’t sure how to approach me when I’m out, mix that with being oblivious to flirtations because I confuse it with someone being nice and you have me.

I am full of contradictions and bad jokes. humor is the most attractive quality a man can hold. I learned a long time not to take things too seriously, I don’t proclaim to be perfect nor should you. I do however have gears working towards goals. I like a well balanced physical and mental relationship. Being an only child I am used to doing stuff on my own and need a strong personality to challenge me to share. Strength of mind, spirit and body are key.
