BioNote: this journal may contain adult concepts.
I'm a professional singer, work in a law firmpart most of the time to make ends meet (the music profession is fickle and NYC rents are exorbitant, and now that the economy is in the toilet the gigs are fewer and farther between) and I love to travel in foreign lands for months at a time when I'm able to pull together enough money for it. I especially love Brazil, Portugal and the Portuguese language (first learned it in NYC and perfected it in Brazil, where I lived for a little while, in Salvador da Bahia).
When I'm at home, I enjoy practicing Portuguese with my Brazilian friends and drinking good caipirinhas, swimming, biking, hiking, reading and writing. I'm also a huge film buff.
Part of my long list of favorite authors and poets: Jorge Amado, Brontë Sisters, Pearl S. Buck, Charles Bukowski, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens, Neil Gaiman, Thomas Gray, Alma Guillermoprieto, Václav Havel, Maxine Hong Kingston, Victor Hugo, Garrison Keillor, Jack Kerouac, Milan Kundera, Garcia Lorca, Joaquim M. Machado de Assis, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Anchee Min, Harold Pinter, Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allen Poe, Shan Sa, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Bram Stoker, Amy Tan, Hunter S. Thompson, Wilkie Collins
