In the guidelines that you agreed to when you signed up here, there are many rules of this site. I'm wishing you luck on your search, it seems that many of the members here have provided you with other options that might help provide for you in your search.
I have not shown aggressive angst nor road rage style drama (is there such a thing?
) so I do apologize if you are sensitive to my questioning. We have a duty to protect our membership and when someone nonchalantly asks for someone to travel with them without knowing anything about them, I will ask.

But Siu ... she's not from Brazil, she's from Australia.
Brisbane is in Queensland.
Machka, I'm not a moderator....though at times I wish I were. Oh and in one of her five crosspostings that were deleted one merged here, she said she is a Brazilian in Brisbane. *wink wink*

It might also be useful to post something about your own cycling experience. What tours have you done, how long you intend to take on this tour, when. People can't read your mind, and that's the sort of information that would encourage them to seek further details about such a trip.
This is a prime example of what I mean by the membership not knowing about someone. Excellent suggestion, Rowan!
