My Favourite Things

Football

I am a proud supporter of the mighty São Paulo Futebol Clube, by far the most successful Brazilian club both nationally and internationally, having won six Brazilian league titles, three Copa Libertadores and three Club World Cups.

Running

For me, relaxing after work normally means going out for a run despite the sometimes not-so-nice British weather. I have been training to become a superstar distance runner just like Mo Farah below (yes, sure). I track my run times and distances using a Garmin Forerunner 645 and Garmin Connect. When I am not out in the wild running, I am probably following the news about events like the Diamond League.

Tech, arts and entertainment

As a gadgets enthusiast, I frequently use podcasts and YouTube subscriptions to catch up with the latest developments in technology. A couple of good ones are CNET and Android Central.  

I am always listening to some music too. My preferences are pretty varied, stretching from Brazilian popular music (MPB) and American jazz (particularly Miles Davis), to 1980s rock bands and contemporary drum'n'bass. 

And regardless of what the film critics might say, if there is a new Woody Allen movie in town I will definitely see it!
