So I'm supposed to give a description of myself, but since I don't know myself completely yet, I'm just giving random facts about me. I'm 26 years old Puerto Rican girl. I live in Puerto Rico. I'm a law student and hope to become a good lawyer at the environmental law and animal rights field some day. I'm a vegetarian hoping to become vegan. :) I like meditation and mantras, specially the Gayatri Mantra. I love to speak Portuguese. My dream is to travel to Brazil, Egypt and India. I love Brazilian, Egyptian and Indian music and would like to learn and experience those cultures. I practice capoeira since January 15, 2010 with group Capoeira Senzala Puerto Rico (Instructor Perna Longa under the supervision of Contra-Mestre Zumbi). I was given my capoeirista name or "apelido"on April 27th, 2010 by Zumbi and on April 28th, 2010 I received my first berimbau (a Gunga). My apelido is Alegria, which mean joy, happiness. I'm overweight but very motivated and happy at every capoeira class. I do what I can and try to get better and loose weight every month. I hope I can become a good capoeirista some day too. This summer, I'm traveling to Brazil to practice capoeira for 2 months with Contra-Mestre Zumbi at Uberaba, Minas Gerais and to participate in my group's Batizado there. :)
