Hello from Porto Alegre, Brazil

My name is Gilmar Mattos, 42 y/o. I’m graduated in Advertising at UFRGS and Postgraduated in Business Management (Brazil), but what I like to do is tourism. I love travelling to different countries and cities to know interesting places, architectures, colours, different smells and tastes. I’ve been to Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, USA, Panama, Portugal, Spain, Andorra, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Turkey. I’m in love about my city, but when I have to criticize it I have critical eyes. Good points and bad ones.
I generally use the pictures to show some moving moments, beauty or not and I share it on Flickr (gijlmar). I love soccer and I usually watch the games on TV and I’m a Porto Alegre’s Internacional supporter and besides Internacional, I like Ajax Amsterdam. But sport goes beyond soccer, as also volleyball, formula 1 are amazing and I have to confess, in the latests Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver and Sochi, I watched curling and I loved it!
I think this passion for new cultures and travelling makes me a "real" philatelist, although, by the stamps is possible to go everywhere in the world and learn about other countries.
I like to listen to music and the ears phones are part of my body.
So many movies, so many books…
Cheers. \o/
