Now, he is 31 and has lived in major cities like Rome, New York and Los Angeles. Currently, he is living in Rio.

Film School and Luxury Hotels
When he was in New York, he attended the Film School of New York City. Then, he worked as a television director for travel shows. His show was about luxury hotels.
