About Me

I am a very enthusiastic person who is always laughing of life. I always trying to stick only with the good view of any happening. I have a lot of things to talk about, to learn, to explore.

I used to think that I had everything or that I knew everything when I was living in Brazil. After I traveled out of Brazil, I finally realized how big the world is, and I notice how people create bad stereotypes of other cultures and how amazing is finding by yourself the real truth about it. New beliefs, new ways to do things, new people, new language, new foods to try, just a great experience.

I want to travel around the world and see places such as Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, China, Singapore, Thailand, etc.

I moved to U.S. from Brazil in order to learn English. This was in 2013, in Orlando Florida. Then, in 2015 I moved to San Diego California in order to start General Engineering at Mesa College. Now in Sep 2016, I am moving to Vancouver Canada, in order to enjoy 2 years of open work permit and explore and learn this new country that I am traveling to.

I love Italian food, specially fettuccine alfredo pasta with chicken, as well burritos and tacos, but not a big fan of spice food; however, I do like to try spice food once in a while. I also love Brazilian steak barbecue (no barbecue-sauce please, too sweet). I am a "salty person", I usually prefer to eat salty foods than sweet. I like almost all fruits, specially strawberries, peach, grape and pear.

I also love to see parks and theme parks, visit new places, play sports and take pictures.
