The Manifesto: What is Mundo do Ro?
If you had asked me what Mundo do Ro was a few years ago, I would have given you a standard, polite answer. I would have said it was just a final project for my Journalism degree focused on culture and technology. But time is the master of everything and it destroys whatever no longer has a function.
Today if you ask me the same question I will tell you that Mundo do Ro is not just a website. It is an extension of my own skin in the form of text, video and digital noise. Since 2013 this space has mutated, changed its skin and evolved. It survived the academic world and transformed into a place where my vision of culture meets my most intimate daydreams.
Within this universe you will find Blog do Ro, a private room where I drop my filters and write about the gut feelings that traditional media is too afraid to touch.
This project exists to prove that journalism doesn’t need a corporate building to be real. It only needs a voice that refuses to be silent. I want to create a connection with you on the other side of the screen that is visceral and honest. I am here to show that you don’t have to be a “convicted simpleton” watching life pass by. You can jump.
I hope you enjoy the fall. Share the content, join the conversation and follow the journey on social media @rodrigirao15

The Man Behind the World
They say this space was designed for you to like me. Personally I prefer that you respect my vision or at least feel something when reading it. Hate also generates engagement.
I am a paradox wrapped in the skin of a scorpion. Yes I am sentimental and perhaps a little “crazy” by conventional standards but that is only because I refuse to live a lukewarm life. I am a classical pianist which gave me the discipline of the great masters and a keen ear for the nuances of the world. It is an unusual path for my generation but on the other hand nothing about me is common.
I am passionate about the architecture of a good story whether in a teen series in a geek universe or in the way a piece of clothing fits the body. And please do not call that frivolity. Art, fashion and high-quality dark chocolate are the textures that make life worth living.
I am a journalist by profession, an actor by vocation and a curator of life by choice. I live out there. Home is where I feel good, not where I have an address. Life is about feeling the adrenaline of the leap and ensuring my voice reaches those tired of the silence.
This is me. This is the restless mind behind Mundo do Ro.
