Hi There! My name is Chris and I am a technology analyst (analista de informatica) from San Diego, California. In my free time I enjoy playing Basketball, traveling, going to new places, and visiting my favorite country in the world: Brazil. My favorite "classic" movies are Superman and The Matrix. I love pizza and pineapple, unfortunately hardly any pizzarias in Brazil put pineapple on their pizzas :( The next places I would love to visit are more of Brazil, The Camino in Spain, Northern Europe, Siberia, Tibet, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Machu Pichu.
