about me
I'm in many ways, an eternal child. My mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for new experiences - and my attention span is often quite brief. I grasp ideas quickly and once my initial curiosity has been satisfied, I want to go on to something else. I crave frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people. My destiny is to be a Protector.I'm looking for you now, something in you catches my mind and I really wish to know what may happens.
Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who I am at my core. As a Protector, I have an exceptional gift for guiding and comforting others when no one else is willing or able because I actually feel their pain as if it were my own. If I could insulate those I love from all hardship, I would consider that my greatest accomplishment. I offer caring and thoughtful advice that helps others heal and move in a positive direction, but I don't call attention to myself, choosing rather to selflessly give to others in order to make the world a better place. This sense of duty and exceptional work ethic will get me far in life. Self Confident, Responsible, Friendly, Unconventional, Free-Spirited, Quiet, Spontaneous, Practical, Spiritual, Playful, Easygoing, Open-Minded, Earthy, Simple, Loving, Shy, Intellectual, Artistic, Serious, Humorous.

Recently I went on a business trip to Beijing (formerly known as Peking but still called Peking in Japanese because Cantonese refers to the city as Peking while Mandarin calls it Beijing - go figure) with a co-worker from Hong Kong. She is Hong Kong Chinese and speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, English all fluently and now is studying Italian. She moves fluidly from one culture to the next, assimilating quite easily into the language and the lifestyle. I envy her.
While I was in Beiji...

Por que a Geografia é uma ciência sujeita a uma nítida pulverização?
Uma das questões que mais preocuparam os Geógrafos no decorrer dos séculos era a integração e a diferenciação das áreas. Isso sempre exigiu da Geografia um esforço analítico e sintético que hoje parece ter sido trivializado pela opção de um somatório de técnicas em permanente mutação. Entretanto, a aprendizagem conceitual do mundo em que vivemos perde em profundidade no que ganha em extensividade. Possuímos uma visão mais d...
