Yuri was born in southern Brazil and spent an early childhood surrounded by horses, cows and gauchos before emigrating with his family to Italy. He graduated from the University of Padova and after realising that chasing alpacas in a field wasn’t for him, he went on an adventure to India to work for an animal charity. Having survived that, he started working as a small animal vet in the UK and has been here for quite a few years now. His main interest in veterinary medicine is ‘fixing the problem’, no matter what it is. Outside of work Yuri spends time lost in a musical world, playing piano, harpsichord and listening to old records. Another passion he has is Argentine Tango, which he teaches with his partner and has taken him to do dance performances and competitions.
