About Activity

My dream was always to live in Rio. My wife is a local girl so life is pretty good. I have offices in Villa Isabelle, Rio. Business is good but very frustrating sometimes. Business culture in Rio is based on who you know and everybody mistrustes everybody else. Once your in though your in. Brazil is a very beautiful country in so many ways. One thing spoils it, POLITICIANS, the example they set is concidered ok .That is why the country has so many problems that are resolvable. THEY SHOULD SET A GOOD EXAMPLE not " I`am alright jack and F---k you." That said the posibilities here are endless. The people are fantastic in so many ways. The climate perfect (thank god for AC). The food AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh. I should be 250kg by now. But the long walks and the beach help me burn it all off. If any body asks life in Brazil can be perfect on so many levels only one problem " MOSQUITOS " oh well more mos cream.

Interests: Photography, diy, and the swimming pool.

I am Employed.

Driving in Brazil by Maximilien

Your right in every way. I`m from UK and it`s a form of respect for each other that we abide to the law .We`ve seen the benifits of why the law is as it is and so we abide by it. Brazil reminds me of the Uk in the 70s, unrully drivers who thought ... Read More

Driving in Brazil by Maximilien

I`ve been a driver in Brazil now for 15 years and even though things are still bad i have noticed a great change over the years. Yes the potholes, the 1 ft speed bumps that appear overnight and being overtaken on the inside lane. That said every ... Read More
