ABOUT ME
I m lucky to have a french mum and a german father that decided to live in Portugal where I grew up.
I prefer listening than talking. I m here to try and discover everything! I like to meet people and to hear about their live and creazy experiences but I also like to be on my own. How to speak about me whitout talking about sport? I just love to be outside and be active in the nature. I like dancing, and i m sooo happy to be in Brasil because here I learned Forro and Frevo heheh. Besides this I studied International business, German and English. I have a bachelor degree, this year is my gap year, next year i m gonna start a master degree, still have to decide which one, you have to inspirer me! I decided to come to brasil for my gap year because I fell in love with the culture of it. First of all Capoeira, all the various music styles, the history, the food, the kindness and openess of its people, ok I stop here, I sound like a tourist guide...

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is sooooooo important! One day I will learn how to play an instrument, I promise. For now I'm happy listening to it. At the moment i m a huge fan of Chinese Man. I discovered Dub Step in Liverpool, and I'm really fan of it. Reggae, like Groundation or Patrice or the german band Seeed are my favourite. Chill out music like Aluna or Oi Va Voi. Does someone know Trinity Roots??? And Juzzie Smith?? Femi Kuti and Ibrahim Ferrer. I also love french music, old ones like Brassens Aznavour. One of my favourite bands is The cat empire, it was one of the best concert I ever LIVED.
Now movies, I must say I don't really enjoy the american humour of the blockbusters. I like Good by Lennin, Chat blanc chat noir from Kusturica, le péril jeune from Klapisch, Caramel, La vie est un long fleuve tranquille, Zeitgeist was impressive, Soul kitchen, la vie est belle, Almodovar movies, Das leben der anderen, the king speech.
Books: I m the Harry POtter generation, I grew up whit it. Don t worry I do read other books now. Un certain sourire from Sagan, La tempête from Barjavel, le Parfun from Sueskind, Tausend strahlende Sonnen from Khaled Hosseini, O alquimista e memorial do convento.... books from Isabel Allende.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Diving: it is just an other world, a worls in 3D.
Spending a night at the beach and swimming in fluorescent water.
Ridding alone in the nature.
To reach the top of a mountain and see the see (in corsica)
Teach, Learn, Share
Learning is always good, but whit people you can learn thingd that are not in books. I don't know what I can teach, just ask me maybe I will find an answer...
