I was born and raised in the city of Passo Fundo, located in the southernmost state of Brazil, called Rio Grande do Sul. Those born in this state are known as gaúchos, spanish for cowboys. This gives a hint of the importance of cattle-rearing to the state's history. Gaúchos from south Brazil share a lot of culture with Argentina and Uruguay, specially the passion for barbecue and yerba mate. From time to time I remember to upload few pictures taken during trips to my Picasa Web. Hobbies:
