Mike is an American who has visited Brazil three times over the past three years and hopes to eventually spend a year living there. He talks about his experiences (mostly in Rio) and why he considers Brazil his favorite place on earth.
Mike keeps up to date about Brazil on Twitter by following @10kjuan, @brazzil, @thebrazilbiz, @thebrazilshow, and of course @brazilianisms. He's currently reading The Masters and the Slaves by Gilberto Freyre. He has gotten to know and hang out with many cool Brazilians he met on CouchSurfing.
Mike blogs about Brazil at American Mind -- Espírito Brasileiro. You can also follow him on Twitter and friend him on Facebook.
Great episode! I enjoyed the talk about Rio de Janeiro, it made me find more about the city and made me think if I should live there instead of Sao Paulo.
I wish Mike all the best, good luck and I really want o see him find a good job in Brazil and hopefully he will move there permanently.

Thanks, Mike. (It's funny that you have the same name as the person being featured, but you are the listener Mike in Romania.)

Thank you Kinsey for pointing that out. I forgot to present myself, I could have created a confusion all around. :P
