“Sometimes we get it right,
sometimes we get it wrong,
but the best surprise is when
we imagine the experience
will be great and it ends up
being perfect. This very
situation happened to me and
19 other Brazilians when we
took part in a GTI program
sponsored by the U.S.
Department of State.”
-- Thiago Rocha
