The natural beauties of the city; the carioca way of being; the laid-back quality of life in Rio; and of course Flamengo!

Louis XIV, Machado de Assis, Ayrton Senna and Keith Richards.

That’s such a hard question because I have so many… But if I was exiled to a desert island and I could only take one book, I’d take “Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas”, by Machado de Assis.
-What is home to you?
My private universe.
“My french bulldog, Fidel”
On the top of the bookcase, is the type writer bought at an auction previously owned by Rubem Braga (remarkable Brazilian writer of short stories). “My most inspirational object”.
