About Me:

I am Brazilian and have been living in UK - London for 23 years. I have Italian citizenship and am also descendant of Spanish and Portuguese families.
I am active and like doing different types of sports competitively (beach volleyball, beach tennis, tennis, basketball, etc.) against people half or more of my age. I also love skiing and of course sailing. When young, I was a competitive swimmer and can still swimn well all 4 styles. With this life style, to be honest, I usually feel much younger than many men that I know and who are only 50 years old.
My hobbies: Playing sports as mentioned and during the week I exercise at home. In the past 2 years, I've been learning and investing in the stock market abroad and here, in preparation for my retirement.
When I have time, I like watching films, documentaries, or videos in *******, about things that interests me, like Brazilian and world history, investments, etc. I really don't watch TV much, mostly the news, documentaries and films.
I consider myself to be happy, have good sense of humour, positive and original, as I like to think by myself and don't like following the masses or like and do what everyone else likes or do. I'm not interested in the celebrities world (my celebrities are my sons and some people I admire and the woman that I love, when I found the next one :). I don't follow football or any other professional sport, as I like playing and not watching anymore.
I have three adult sons. The eldest one, 32, is married, lives in London and has a master in chemistry. The twins are 28 and they have jus finished their PhD in chemistry too (NMR).
I live on my own flat near Central London - Stockwell, am solvent, but not rich.
