Andre is my classmate from PGIC English course. He is from Brazil and he has been living in Sao Paulo since he was born. When he was a child, he had had to be an archeologist, but he changed his mind. When he was 21 years old, he graduated in Business Administration at Mackenzie University.
Andre has been working in a Human Resources department for four years, and his position is trainee. He has been studying English language for two years but until that, he had never learned English or other foreign languages.
Last year, he decided to go to Canada to learn English and improve his skills. The trip to Canada is his second travel for a foreign country. Before he went to Canada, he had gone to Uruguay and Argentina in his vacation. He loved these countries and enjoyed a lot, but in his opinion, Brazil has many places better than countries of South of America.
Andre has been traveling a lot in Brazil because of his job. Since he started work in the Human Resource department, he had gone to Manaus, Caraja, Porto Alegre, Vitoria, Brasilia, and Aracaju. Before he went to Manaus and Caraja, he had thought these cities were dirty and horrible. However he changed his mind when he arrived there. He learned many things in these cities and he had opportunity to learn more about other cultures. In his opinion, Caraja is an exotic place because there are many indigenes and it is not necessary to pay for foods, clothes.
In his free time, Andre has also traveled a lot. Before he went to Canada, he had traveled to Parana, Rio Janeiro, Florianopolis, Blumenau, Belo Horizonte, Mato Grosso Sul, Sao Luis and Pernambuco. In his opinion, the best places to take vacation are Sao Luis and Mato Grosso Sul.
Sao Luis has beautiful beaches and a famous tourist point called Lencol Maranhese. This place is like a desert with water, a paradise place to relax and enjoy a lot with friends. Mato Grosso Sul has many rivers that you can fish a variety of fishes, and also see exotic animals like crocodiles, alligators. It’s a good place to do a safari in Brazil. When Andre went to Pantanal, he had been afraid of doing a safari, so he just stayed in a board to see the fishes into the river.
Andre has also been enjoying a lot since he arrived in Toronto. He had two historical moments here: when he saw the baseball play game and when he traveled to French Canada. Two weeks ago, Andre went to the Roger Center to see the baseball play game (Blue Jays against NYC). When he just arrived there, Andre and his friends bought some beers to drink, but after two hours, the security guide invited him to go out. He did not understand what was happening, but we went out. After that, he became famous.
Last weekend he went to French Canada with his friends and spent three days traveling to Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa. During these days, he went to the night clubs, Cirque du Soleil, Parliamentary Building and many others tourist points, but he also have drunk a lot.
The Andre’s dreams are win the lottery to not work anymore, and just drink and travel around the world to enjoy a lot. Before it happen, he has been working and studying so hard to get a good salary.
