Renan Cavalli, a 31-year-old Brazilian architect and model originally from São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, was discovered in a hospital in Dublin, Ireland, after almost two weeks of being missing. His relocation to Ireland was driven by the pursuit of better job opportunities, as he sought to establish himself professionally in a new country. With over three years of education at Universidade Paulista (Unip), Renan has also equipped himself with language skills by taking English courses in Dublin, helping facilitate his adaptation.

Having lived in Dublin for nearly three years, Renan has been balancing life working in a department store while trying to find a position related to his architectural studies. He is noted for his diverse interests, including reading, drawing, and acting as a model. His social life included attending a church related to the Congregação Cristã, which shows his involvement in community activities even while abroad. His mother, Odete, has been in touch with him during his time of disappearance, indicating family support throughout his journey.

The case of Renan Cavalli highlights the challenges faced by young expatriates as they navigate new environments in search of personal and professional growth. The attention his situation has garnered underscores the concerns related to disappearances of foreigners in a new country and the importance of community and familial ties in facilitating integration and support for individuals living abroad.
